- AIt will remain stationary
- BIt will move from B to A
- CIt will move from A to B
- DIt will rotate in a circular path

Answer
- It will move from A to B
Explanation:
A charge always tries to move from a point of higher potential to a point of lower potential. The potential at A is greater than the potential at B because of electric potential decreases with distance from the charge. It can also be explained by the fact that a positive charge is always repelled by another positive charge.
