An electric dipole is fixed at the origin of coordinates. Its moment is directed in the positive `x`- direction. A positive charge is moved from the point `(r,0)` to the point `(-r,0)` by an external agent. In this process, the work done by the agent is

A

positive and inversely proportional to `r`

B

positive and inversely proportional to `r^(2)`
