In a certain charge distribution, all points having zero potetnial can be joined by a circles `S`. Points inside `S` have positive potential and points outside `S` have negative potential. A positive charg, which is free to move, is placed inside `S`

A

It will remainin equilibrium

B

It can move inside `S`, but it cannot cross `S`

C

It must cross `S` at some time.

D

It may move, but will ultimately return to its starting point.
