In figure, two positive charges `q_2` and `q_3` fixed along the y-axis, exert a net electric force in the + x direction on a charge `q_1` fixed along the x-axis. If a positive charge Q is added at (x,0), the force of `q_1`.

A

(a) shall increases along the positive x-axis.

B

(b) shall decrease along the positive x-axis.

C

(c) shall point along the negative x-axis.

D

(d) shall increase but the direction changes because of the intersection of Q with `q_2` and `q_3`.
