Solution

The correct options are
A For spherical region rR0 total electrostatic energy stored is zero
B Within r=2R0 total charge is q
C There will be no charge anywhere except at r=R0
D Electric field is discontinuous at r=R0
The given system is a uniformly charged Spherical Shell of radius R0 with charge q.

Option A: Correct
No charge inside the Shell, hence Electrostatic energy stored inside is Zero.

Option B: Correct
Shell comes Inside r=2R0

Option C: Correct
Spherical Shell Property. Charge only on surface.

Option D: Correct
Field inside shell is Zero whereas field outside the shell is non-zero.
