$A$ thin metallic spherical shell contains a charge $Q$ on it. $A$ point charge $+q$ is placed at the centre of the shell and another charge $q'$ is placed outside it as shown in the figure. All the three charges are positive. The force on the central charge due to the shell is:

  • A
    upward
  • B
    toward left
  • C
    toward right
  • D
    zero
