Answer:

option (C)

Step-by-step explanation:

The path on which an electric charge move in the electric field is called electric field line.

From a positive charge, the electric field line appears to come out and from a negative charge, the electric field line appears to go inside.

Here, one charge is positive and another is negative, so field line is going away from the positive charge and move towards the negative charge.
