The force of repulsion between two point charges is F, when these are at distance 0.1 m apart. Now the point charges are replaced by spheres of radii 5 cm each having the same charge as that of the respective point charges. The distance between their centers is again kept 0.1m; then the force of repulsion will –

Decrease
C
Remain F
