An electric line of force in the $xy$ plane is given by equation ${x^2} + {y^2} = 1$. A particle with unit positive charge, initially at rest at the point $x = 1,\;y = 0$ in the $xy$ plane

A

Not move at all

B

Will move along straight line

C

Will move along the circular line of force

D

Information is insufficient to draw any conclusion

(IIT-1988)
