The figure below depict two situations in which two infinitely long static line charges of constant positive line charge density `lambda` are kept parallel to each other. In their resulting electric field, point charges q and `-q` are kept in equilibrium between them. The point charges are confined to move in the x direction only. If they are given a small displacement about their equilibrium positions, then the correct statement(s) is(are)

A

Both charges execute simple harmonic motion

B

Both charges will continue moving in the direction of their displacement

C

Charge `+q` executes simple harmonic motion while charge `-q` continues moving in the direction of its displacement.

D

Charge `-q` executes simple harmonic motion while charge `+q` continues moving the direction of its displacement.
