Hello Student

According to the work energy theorem we have
We​ + Wg ​= ​(mv2)/2
We have work done by electrostatic force as
We​= qElsinθ
and work done by the gravitational force as
Wg​ = mg(l−lcosθ)
Thus we get
qElsinθ + mg(l−lcosθ) =​ (mv2)/2
Thus we get
mgsinθ + mgl − mglcosθ = ​(mv2)/2
asθ = 45o, we get
mgl =​ (mv2)/2
also as v = ωl
we get
ω =√ (2g/l)

Hence option B is correct.

I hope this answer will help you.
