The figures below depict two situations in which two infinitely long static line charges of constant positive line charge density $\lambda$ are kept parallel to each other. In their resulting electric field, point charges $q$ and $- q$ are kept in equilibrium between them. The point charges are confined to move in the $x$ direction only. If they are given a small displacement about their equilibrium positions, then the correct statement$(s)$ is(are)

A proton sits at coordinates $(x, y) = (0, 0)$, and an electron at $(d, h)$, where $d >> h$. At time $t = 0$, $a$ uniform electric field $E$ of unknown magnitude but pointing in the positive $y$ direction is turned on. Assuming that $d$ is large enough that the proton-electron interaction is negligible, the $y$ coordinates of the two particles will be equal (at equal time)
