Detailed Solution

When an electron is discharged from rest into an electric field, it has a mass of me and intensity of electric field of E, according to the question. Accordingly, the electron's initial velocity is zero (u=0), thus let e represent its charge.
Write the force this electron felt in the electric field using
FEF=qE

FEF=eE----------------------------1

The Newton's law, F=ma, is now known to us. This allows us to rewrite equation (1) for the electron in the following way. 

mea = eE-----------------------2

The distance the electron travelled in time t must be determined. We shall use one of the motion equations for this. So let's utilise
s=ut+12at2

Let's try replacing these values in the equation.
s=0×t+12at2

Let's make it more simpler.

s=12at2

We shall subtract the value of acceleration as follows from this equation.

a=2st2---------------------3

Let's now change the value of the variable a from equation (3) to (2). 

me2st2=eE

Let's remove the distance's' value from the previous phrase.
s=eEt22me
Hence, the correct answer is option B.
