Four charges `Q_(1), Q_(2), Q_(3)` and `Q_(4)` of same magnitude are fixed along the x axis at `x=-2a, -a, +a` and `+2a`, respectively. A positive charge q is placed on the positive y axis at a distance `b gt 0`. Four options of the signs of these charges are given in List I. The direction of the forces on the charge q is given in List II. Match List I with List II and select the correct answer using the code given below the lists.
