Heyo, im just double checking my answer, please help

Which statement does NOT correctly describe the electric force between two particles?

If they have the same sign, the force will be away from each other; if they have opposite signs, the force will be towards each other


The farther apart they are, the smaller the force will be


The greater each charge is, the more force there will be


If they are moving towards each other, the force will be perpendicular; if they are moving away from each other, the force will be parallel

Answer:

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

Option A is not not correct because it correctly defines the electric force which is repulsive in case of like charges and attractive in case of opposite charges

Option B is also not correct because it is true about electric force

Option C is also not correct as electric forces are always perpendicular

Option D is incorrect as electric forces are not parallel
