Solution

The correct option is C Electric flux through a closed surface will depends only on charges enclosed within that surface only
According to Gauss's law, (ϕ=Qenϵ0) the electric flux only depends on the charge enclosed by the surface. Gauss's law is applicable on any other distribution of charges but it is applicable only for symmetrical structure of the body.
Ans: (C)
