Solution

The correct option is D Dipole will move along negative x-axis and will undergo an anticlockwise rotation
the dipole is lapsed in a non-uniform electric field, therefor a force are well as couple acts on it. the force on the negative charge is more $(F ⋉ E)$ , and is directed along $- v e$ x-axis. does, the dipole moves along -ve x-axis and rotets in an\quad anti clock wise direction.
