Solution

The correct option is D The interior remains charge free and the surface gets non-uniform charge distribution.
The charge inside the conductor is always zero and all charges are distributed on the outer surface of the conductor. So when a charge Q is brought near a metal cube the charge inside of cube will remain zero but outer surface will get non-uniform charge distribution.
