Answer:

Option (C)

Step-by-step explanation:

The direction of electric field is upwards

The charge is negative is nature, so the force on the charge particle is in the opposite direction of electric field that means the force on the charged particle is downward. The relation between the force and the electric field is given by

F = -q x E

So, the charged particle experience a force in the downward direction and then leaves the electric filed near point Y.
