Two equal negative charges are fixed at the points $(0, a)$ and $(0, -a)$ on the $y$-axis. $A$ positive charge $Q$ is released from rest at the point $(2a, 0)$ on the $x$-axis. The charge $Q$ will

  • A
    execute simple harmonic motion about the origin
  • B
    move to the origin and remain at rest
  • C
    move to infinity
  • D
    execute oscillatory but not simple harmonic motion.
