THere is a standard relationship that gives this result where the capacity of the capacitor is used:
.
We know though that Q/c=V and thus we can use the relationship:
E=Q*V/2 where we have just substituted in. If we also take into account that Q=VC, we can also get that E=V^2*C/2.
We are given the charge and the potential, so the best expression to use is the middle one.
Substituting, we get that E=1/2*8*10^(-10)*20=8*10^(-9).
The answer is B
