Given below are two statements:
Statement-$I$: $A$ point charge is brought into an electric field. The value of the electric field at a point near the charge may increase if the charge is positive.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

$A$ tiny spherical oil drop carrying a net charge $q$ is balanced in still air with a vertical uniform electric field of strength $\frac{81 \pi}{7} \times 10^5 \text{ Vm}^{-1}$. When the field is switched off,the drop is observed to fall with a terminal velocity $2 \times 10^{-3} \text{ ms}^{-1}$. Given $g = 9.8 \text{ ms}^{-2}$,viscosity of the air $\eta = 1.8 \times 10^{-5} \text{ Ns m}^{-2}$,and the density of oil $\rho = 900 \text{ kg m}^{-3}$,the magnitude of $q$ is:

Two charged identical metal spheres $A$ and $B$ repel each other with a force of $3 \times 10^{-5} \,N$. Another identical uncharged sphere $C$ is touched with sphere $A$ and then it is placed mid-way between $A$ and $B$. Then, the magnitude of net force on $C$ is
