A point particle of charge Q is located at P along the axis of an electric dipole 1 at a distance r 
as shown in the figure. The point P is also on the equatorial plane of a second electric dipole 2 at a distance r. The dipoles are made of opposite charge q separated by a distance 2a. For the charge particle at P not to experience any net force, which of the following correctly describes the situation?
A
B
C
D
