(c) As the electric field is switched on, positive ion will start to move along positive $x$-direction and negative ion along negative $x$-direction. Current associated with motion of both types of ions is along positive $x$-direction. According to Fleming's left hand rule force on both types of ions will be along negative $y$-direction.
