The correct answer is:
& are correct
When force due to the gravitation field is equal to force due to the electric field, the particle must follow a straight-line path with acceleration.
when force due to gravitation field is not equal to force due to the electric field, the particle will follow the path of a parabola,
Hence and both are correct
