How does the number of electric field lines passing through a unit area depend on the distance from a point charge?

  • A
    It is directly proportional to the distance $(r)$.
  • B
    It is inversely proportional to the distance $(r)$.
  • C
    It is inversely proportional to the square of the distance $(r^2)$.
  • D
    It is independent of the distance $(r)$.
