Solution

The correct option is C $F = q E$
A charge in an electric field experiences a force that is directly proportional to the magnitude of its charge. ( $F = q E$ ), This is similar to the phenomenon of gravity, where the force experienced by a body due to a gravitational field is directly proportional to its mass.
