Solution

The correct option is B downward direction

From figure, we can see that particle B is at extreme position. So, particle B will try to pull particle A and C to the extreme position.

Hence, by Newton's third law of motion, particles A and C will pull particle B in the opposite direction as shown in figure. Net force on particle B will be downward.
Thus, option (b) is the correct answer
