  • A

    $\frac{{\pi {R^2}\sigma }}{{{\varepsilon _0}}}$

  • B

    $\frac{{2\pi {{\left( {{R^2} - {x^2}} \right)}^{}}\sigma }}{{{\varepsilon _0}}}$

  • C

    $\frac{{\pi {{\left( {R - x} \right)}^2}\sigma }}{{{\varepsilon _0}}}$

  • D

    $\frac{{\pi {{\left( {{R^2} - {x^2}} \right)}^{}}\sigma }}{{{\varepsilon _0}}}$
