Based on this electric field diagram, the statement which best compares the charge of A with B is "A is negatively charged and B is positively charged. The charge on A is greater than that on B".

Answer: Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

The charge is quantized represented as elementary charge, about 1.602×10−19 coulombs. Their are two kinds of electric charging: positive and negative (usually transported, separately, by protons and electrons). Like charges repel each other, while attraction occurs among unlike charges. An entity without net charge is considered neutral. If a piece of matter comprises more electrons than protons, it has a negative charge, when there are fewer, it'll have a positive charge and when there are equal amounts, this will be neutral.
