Answer:
d. )directed upward.
Explanation:
As the electron has a negative charge, when under the influence of an electric field, is subject to an electric force, which direction is the opposite to the direction of the electric field.
This is because the electric field has the same direction that the force on a positive test charge at the same point.
As the electric field points vertically downward, the electric force on the electron (a negative charge) points vertically upward.
So, the statement d. is the one that results to be true.
