A positive charge $q$ is placed at the centre of a neutral hollow cylindrical conducting shell with its cross-section as shown in the figure below. Which one of the following figures correctly indicates the induced charge distribution on the conductor? (Ignore edge effects)

A

B

C

D

(KVPY-2017)
