AStart at negative, end at positive
BStart at positive, end at negative
CForm closed loops around charges
DStart and end only at infinity
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Start at positive, end at negative
Electrostatic field lines start on positive charges and end on negative charges and never form closed loops.
