Question: The plot below depicts the electric field component of a linearly polarized, electromagnetic plane wave traveling through vacuum. E ( r , t ) propagates

The plot below depicts the electric field component of a linearly polarized, electromagnetic plane wave traveling through vacuum. E(r,t) propagates in the negative z-direction and toward an observer located at z=0.(Note that x is directed into the page.)
What is the magnetic field associated with this wave (assuming k and have their usual definitions)?
(a)B(r,t)=xBmaxsin(kz-t)
(b)B(r,t)=xBmaxsin(kz+t)
(c)B(r,t)=zBmaxsin(kz-t)
(d)B(r,t)=-xBmaxsin(kz+t)
(e)B(r,t)=-xBmaxsin(kz-t)
The plot below depicts the electric field
