Using the equation for the de Broglie wavelength of an electron, we have:

\lambda_{e}= \frac{h}{\sqrt{2m_{e}\left ( eV \right )}}

Substituting the given values, we get:
\lambda_{e}= \frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}}{\sqrt{2\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 200}}

Solving this expression, we get:

\lambda_{e} \approx0.308\, \AA

The resulting expression is then evaluated to obtain the de Broglie wavelength of the electron. The correct answer is an option (4).
