$A$ disk of radius $R$ with uniform positive charge density $\sigma$ is placed on the $xy$ plane with its center at the origin. The Coulomb potential along the $z$-axis is $V(z) = \frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0} (\sqrt{R^2+z^2} - z)$. $A$ particle of positive charge $q$ is placed initially at rest at a point on the $z$-axis with $z=z_0$ and $z_0 > 0$. In addition to the Coulomb force,the particle experiences a vertical force $\vec{F} = -c\hat{k}$ with $c > 0$. Let $\beta = \frac{2c\epsilon_0}{q\sigma}$. Which of the following statement$(s)$ is(are) correct?
$(A)$ For $\beta = \frac{1}{4}$ and $z_0 = \frac{25}{7}R$,the particle reaches the origin.
$(B)$ For $\beta = \frac{1}{4}$ and $z_0 = \frac{3}{7}R$,the particle reaches the origin.
$(C)$ For $\beta = \frac{1}{4}$ and $z_0 = \frac{R}{\sqrt{3}}$,the particle returns back to $z=z_0$.
$(D)$ For $\beta > 1$ and $z_0 > 0$,the particle always reaches the origin.
