A charge $+q$ is fixed at each of the points $x = x_0,\,x = 3x_0,\,x = 5x_0$, .... upto $\infty $ on $X-$  axis and charge $-q$ is fixed on each of the points $x = 2x_0,\,x = 4x_0,\,x = 6x_0$, .... upto $\infty $ . Here $x_0$ is a positive constant. Take the potential at a point due to a charge $Q$ at a distance $r$ from it to be $\frac{Q}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}r}}$. Then the potential at the origin due to above system of charges will be

  • A

    zero

  • B

    $\frac{q}{{8\pi {\varepsilon _0}{x_0}\,{{\log }_e}\,2}}$

  • C

    infinity

  • D

    $\frac{{q\,{{\log }_e}\,2}}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}{x_0}}}$
