option B

Explanation:

the correct answer is option B

when negative charge is placed in electric field then direction will be accelerated in opposite direction of the field.

charged electric particle produce electric field and they exert force on other charged particle.

when a charged particle is positive it will accelerate in the direction of the electric field if the charge is negative then particle will accelerate in opposite direction of electric field.
