An electron is either released from rest...

An electron is either released from rest or projected with some initial velocity in a uniform electric field. Neglect any other force on the electron apart from electrostatic force. Which of the graphs shown in fig could possibly represent the change in kinetic energy of the electron during its course of motion? Explain the situation in each case.
