The correct answer is:
Parabola
Since, $\vec{v}=v_0 \hat{i}$
$\vec{E}=E_0 \hat{j}$
The electron is moving in $x$-direction perpendicular to the electric field which is in $y$-direction.
Thus, the path of electron moving perpendicular to field will be a parabola.
$\vec{E}=E_0 \hat{j}$
The electron is moving in $x$-direction perpendicular to the electric field which is in $y$-direction.
Thus, the path of electron moving perpendicular to field will be a parabola.
