Here observer is moving along with an electrical charge

now magnetic field on a moving charge is given by equation

$F = qvB sin\theta$

electrical force on a moving charge is given by formula

F = qE

so here we can say when observer is moving with the charge it will have two forces on it

1. magnetic force due to existing magnetic field

2. electric force due to electric field

so here he must have to experience both type of field presence

So here correct answer must be

C- electric and magnetic fields
