Solution

The correct option is A parabola

Electric field $= ¯ ¯¯ ¯ E$
Perpendicular to $¯ ¯¯ ¯ E$ with a charged particle enters the space between the plates. Since it is a continuous force and the particle is perpendicular for to its velocity or speed.

Hence, path is projectile must be parabola.
As in the projectile motion.
