Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Electric field lines never enter a metallic conductor (E=0, inside a conductor) and they fall normally on the surface of a metallic conductor (because whole surface is at same potential and lines are perpendicular to equipotential surface).
