An electron moves from point i to point f, in the direction of a uniform electric field.  During this motion:
the work done by the field is positive and the potential energy of the electron-field system increases
the work done by the field is negative and the potential energy of the electron-field system increases
the work done by the field is positive and the potential energy of the electron-field system decreases
the work done by the field is negative and the potential energy of the electron-field system decreases
