A few electric field lines for a system ...

A few electric field lines for a system of two charges `Q_(1)` and `Q_(2)` fixed at two different points on the `x`-axis are shown in the figure. These lines suggest that
(i) `|Q_(1) | gt |Q_(2)|`
(ii) `|Q_(1)| lt |Q_(2)|`
(iii) At a finite distance to the left of `Q_(1)` the electric field is zero
(iv) At a finite distance to the right of `Q_(2)` the electric field is zero

A

`(i),(iii)`

B

`(i),(iv)`

C

`(ii),(iii)`

D

`(ii),(iv)`
