Answer:

The correct answer is the option B which is by how close the lines are.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Electric field of lines are a type of pattern used to describe the direction and the strength of the electric field.
  • These are lines which always projects from Positive ions to negative ions.
  • Then strength of electric field is shown by the closeness of lines.
  • Where these lines are close to each other it means strength of electric field is high and vice versa.
  • These lines show that electric field is a vector property.
