Answer

See the detailed answer below.

Work Step by Step

$$\color{blue}{\bf [a]}$$ Recalling that $$\vec F=q\vec v\times \vec B $$ So according to the right-hand rule for a negative charge, which is opposite the direction determined by the right-hand rule for a positive charge, the magnetic field $\vec B$ must be $45^\circ$ counterclockwise from positive $x$-axis on the same plane of $\vec v$ $$\color{blue}{\bf [b]}$$ By the same approach, using the right-hand rule, the magnetic field $\vec B$ must be $45^\circ$ clockwise from positive $x$-axis on the same plane of $\vec F$
