A dipole consisting of two charge $\pm q$ separated by a distance $2 a$ is placed with its centre $D$ away from the center of a grounded sphere of radius $R ( D > > a )$. When the dipole moment vector is perpendicular to the line joining the two centres (those of the dipole and sphere) the charge induced on the sphere is
  • A$\frac{2 a R}{D^2} q$
  • B$\frac{a R}{D^2} q$
  • C$\frac{a R }{2 D ^2} q$
  • D$0$
