Answer #1

Answer

Considering it as an electric field due to a dipole, the left one is a positive charge ( Field lines originating ) and the right side is a negative charge ( field lines terminating ).. For a dipole , the potential at points which are near to the positive charge is positive and those points which are near to negative charge are negative. So VD is positive and VC is negative. Now for the point B, it is less negative when compared to the point C due to the influence from positive charge. Symmetry of A shows it is positive, but less than D

THerefore VD > VA> VB > VC

Fourth option is the correct answer
