Two equally charged, identical metal spheres $A$ and $B$ repel each other with a force '$F$'. The spheres are kept fixed with a distance '$r$' between them. A third identical, but uncharged sphere $C$ is brought in contact with $A$ and then placed at the mid-point of the line joining $A$ and $B$. The magnitude of the net electric force on $C$ is

  • A

    $F$

  • B

    $3F/4$

  • C

    $F/2$

  • D

    $F/4$
