Answer:

A. Circles

Step-by-step explanation:

An equipotential surface is a surface in which every point on it has the same electrical potential

That is the potential energy of every charge at every point on the surface is equal

For a pair of parallel plates, the equipotential surface are either concentric circles or spherical in shape
