Consider the points lying on a straight line joining two fixed opposite charges. Between the charges there is

  • A

    No point where electric field is zero

  • B

    Only one point where potential is zero

  • C

    All the charges are in unstable equilibrium

  • D

    Both $(a)$ and $(b)$
