Three charges $+Q, q, +Q$ are placed respectively at distances $0, \frac{d}{2},$ and $d$ from the origin on the $x$-axis. If the net force experienced by the charge $+Q$ placed at $x = 0$ is zero,then the value of $q$ is:

  • A
    $-\frac{Q}{2}$
  • B
    $+\frac{Q}{2}$
  • C
    $+\frac{Q}{4}$
  • D
    $-\frac{Q}{4}$
