Solution

The correct options are
B $\to E$ is parallel to $\to B$ and $\to v$ parallel to $\to E$
C $\to E$ is perpendicular to $\to B$ and $\to v$ is parallel to $\to E \times \to B$
From Lorentz force,
$_{L} =_{e} +_{m}$
$_{e}$ = electric force
$_{m}$ = magnetic force
$_{L} = q \to E + q (\to v \times \to B)$

If $\to E | | \to B$ and $\to v | | \to E$ , then $\to v$ must be parallel to $\to B .$
$∴_{L} = q \to E + 0 = q \to E$
Charge will either accelerate or decelerate in the same direction of $\to v,$ but does not deflect.

If $\to E$ is perpendicular to $\to B$ and $\to v$ is parallel to $\to E \times \to B$
$\Rightarrow$ $\to E,$ $\to B$ and $\to v$ are mutually perpendicular to each other.
$\Rightarrow \to v \times \to B = k \to E$

$_{L} = q \to E + q (\to v \times \to B)$
$_{L} = q \to E + q k \to E$
For $k = - 1, F_{L} = 0$
Hence, its possible for charge to travel undeflected.
