A

The lines radiate outward and are denser near the sphere.

B

The lines curve inward towards the sphere.

C

The lines are evenly spaced regardless of distance from the sphere.

D

The lines do not exist around a positively charged object.

Understanding the Answer

Let's break down why this is correct

A positively charged sphere pushes electric field lines straight outward, just like a balloon releasing air. Other options are incorrect because This option assumes the field pulls inward, which is the opposite of how a positive charge behaves; Believing the lines are evenly spaced ignores that the field weakens with distance.
