Solution:
Ans. Correct option : (c)
Explanation: We know electric field emerges radially outward from positive point charge.
In the figure given above, space between field lines is increasing (on density of electric field line is decreasing). In other words, the electric force is decreasing while moving from left to right.
Thus, the force on charge
