The time varying electric and magentic fields are E=Ex^i+Ex^j+Ez^k and B=Bx^i+By^j+Bz^k respectively. They generate a plane electromagnetic wave travelling towards x-direction in pair of space.

Solution
The correct option is DEy,Bz As the electromagnetic wave is travelling towards x-direction, so the electric and magnetic fields will oscillate perpendicular to x-axis. Also, E⊥B, so if B is towards y-direction B must be towards z-direction. i.e., Ey,Bz.
