What can be said about the electric charge if the electric flux associated with a closed loop (surface) is zero?

  • A
    The net charge inside the surface is zero.
  • B
    The electric field inside the surface is zero.
  • C
    The charge is present outside the surface.
  • D
    Both $(A)$ and $(C)$ are possible.
