The diagrams depict four different charge distributions. All the charged particles are at the same distance $r$ from the origin $(i.e., OA = OB = OC = OD = r)$. $F_1, F_2, F_3,$ and $F_4$ are the magnitudes of the electrostatic force experienced by a point charge $q_0$ kept at the origin in Figure-$1$,Figure-$2$,Figure-$3$,and Figure-$4$ respectively. Choose the correct statement.

  • A
    $F_1 > F_2 > F_3 > F_4$
  • B
    $F_1 < F_2 < F_3 < F_4$
  • C
    $F_1 > F_3 > F_2 > F_4$
  • D
    $F_3 > F_1 > F_4 > F_2$
