    you can check it by calculation from x and y components of field.Suppose x component is Ex=Eo Sin(kz-wt) and y component is Ey=-EoSin(kz-wt).So you may write Ex+Ey=0.This is an equation of line.So wave is linearly polarised.Similarly Ex and Ey are such that you get Ex2+Ey2=Eo2 then since it is an equation of circle the wave will be circularly polarised.

    for positive z direction, the argument of exponential should have opposite signs for bothe kz and wt part. hence Option A or B could be answer. Now for circularly polarized light, their should be a phase difference of π/2 between x and y direction, which is shown by iota(i =√-1). hence Option B is correct. Best regards.
