Here is the problem given. The answer is E.
Homework Equations
No equations are given. Assumed use of standard equations for electric field and force involving electric field.
The Attempt at a Solution
I tried using a few equations (E = F/q0), (F = mv^2), (E=(1/(4piEp0))(q/r^2)), and solving, but no luck. Could someone please give me guidance?

The speed of a proton will determine how much it will be deflected in a uniform electric field. The faster the speed, the larger the deflection will be.
The speed of a proton in a uniform electric field is affected by the strength of the electric field, the mass of the proton, and any external forces acting on the proton.
Yes, a proton's speed can change while it is in a uniform electric field. This can occur if the proton is acted upon by external forces or if the strength of the electric field changes.
The speed of a proton in a uniform electric field can be calculated using the equation v = E*d*t/m, where v is the speed, E is the strength of the electric field, d is the distance traveled, t is the time, and m is the mass of the proton.
The kinetic energy of a proton in a uniform electric field is directly proportional to its speed. As the speed of the proton increases, so does its kinetic energy.
