Step 1: Electric field due to a large charged sheet [Ref. Fig.]
Electric field due to the charged sheet with surface charge density σ is E=σ2ε0
Due to positve charge density field is away from sheet and due to negative charge density field is towards the sheet.

Step 2: Resultant field at point P
Electric field being a vector quantity, it will be added vectorially at a point.
Ep=E1+E2+E3

=σ2ε0(^k)+2σ2ε0(^k)+σ2ε0(^k)

=2σε0^k

Option (B) correct answer.
