That's 10 thanks for my points back and answers B

Answer;

B. to the right, in the direction of the electric field lines

Explanation;

  • From the Law of basic electrostatics, the like electric charges repel while the unlike electric charges attract.
  • Therefore, the positive charges will repel positive charges and attract the negative charges. The negative charges on the other hand will repel negative charges and attract positive charges.
  • Thus, in this case positively charged object or body placed to the left of a negatively charged body or object will move to the right, in the direction of the electric field lines, as unlike charges (positive and negative) in these objects will attract each other, thus the objects will move towards each other.
