Solution

The correct options are
A $\to E | | \to B, \to v | | \to E$
B $\to E$ is not parallel to $\to B$
If electric field is parallel to magnetic field, the charged particle moving parallel to $\to E$ experiences a force in the direction of $\to E$ ; due to $\to B$ there will not be any force.
hence no deflection
The particle may go undeflected in the case when forces due to electric field and magnetic field balance each other.
