The correct answers are: $E=v B$, $E=0, B \neq 0$, $E \neq 0, B \neq 0$
The charged particle will move with uniform velocity in that space if $E=0$ and $B \neq 0,$ since a moving charge in a magnetic field experience a force. Also if $E = 0, B \neq 0,$ the charged particle will move with uniform velocity in that space.
If $E=v B$, then particle again moves with uniform velocity.
