Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Page 17 states: 'For a positive charge Q, the electrostatic potential is positive and becomes smaller as you move away from the charge.'
Hint
Consider the formula
V(r) = Q / (4πε₀r) and how it changes with increasing r when Q is positive.
