Solution

The correct option is B Parallel to the field
$G i v e n :$ The motion of a charged particle can be used to distinguish between a magnetic and electric field in a certain regionby firing the charge.
$S o l u t i o n :$ Parallel to the field. Magnetic force will not act so will have no effect on charge but electric force will act and charge will accelerate and deaccelerate.
$S o, t h e$ $c o r r e c t$ $o p t i o n : B$
