Electric Flux through any surface

= Electric field Intensity at the surface

´ component of surface ^

to direction of electric Field

=EΠR2

since it is placed in uniform e field therefore net charge enclosed is 0 and therefore net flux is zero

i.e. flux through circular part + flux through hemi spherical part = 0

flux through circular part = - flux through hemi spherical part

                                   = e * 2pr^2 ( area of hemisphere = 1/2*4pr^2 = 2pR^2 )

hence b is correct

Dear student,
Please find the solution to your question below.
 
Electric Flux through any surface = Electric field Intensity at the surface x component of surface perpendicular to direction of electric Field = EΠR2
 
Hope it helps.
Thanks and regards,
