Correct answer: B. Diverge away from
- A. Converge towards
- B. Diverge away from
- C. Remain equispaced with
- D. None of these
Explanation
Option B is correct since the electric field lines from a point charge diverge away from each other. It is a fact as shown in the image below:

About Electrostatics
Electrostatics describes forces between charges through Coulomb's law, electric fields and field intensity, then uses electric potential to measure energy per unit charge. Capacitors store charge and electrical energy, with capacitance depending on geometry and dielectric material, not simply on the amount of charge present.
