Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
D

As the electron is moving along the direction of the magnetic field, it will experience no magnetic force, but due to an electric force acting on it opposite to the direction of electric field (as it is a negatively charged particle) the velocity of the electron will decreases.
