The correct answer is: nhqB4πm
For a charge q moving in a uniform magnetic field B




fm=mv2R 

qVB= mv2R 

           mv2=qVBR

        12 mv2=qVBR2

     Energy=qVBR2      (1)

By Bohr's quantization condition, 

Angular momentum L=nh2π

     mvR=nh2π

     vR=nh2π m       (2)

Put (2) in (1)

     Energy=qB2 nh2 π m

= qB nh4 π m
