Solution

The correct option is C

AS the electric field due to a spherical distribution of charge increases from the centre to the surface. The electric field lines must get more crowded (dense) when moving from the centre to the surface and then as E.F decreases the E.F.L must get less and less dense. That’s what is happening in option (c).
