There is a loss of kinetic energy of 2 \mathrm{eV} from filament to grid. The energy of the electron after passing through the grid will be \mathrm{3-2=1 \mathrm{eV}}

The potential difference between plate and grid is \mathrm{80-(-2)=82 \mathrm{~V}}. The electron will gain energy \mathrm{82 \mathrm{eV}} from the grid to the plate. The energy of electron reaching the plate \mathrm{=1+82=83 \mathrm{eV}}

Hence option 4 is correct.
