If E-field lines are not parallel in a certain region of space, for this region all of the following statements are valid except

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Electric field lines that are not parallel indicate a non-uniform electric field, which can exist without the presence of a charge in that specific region. The non-parallel lines suggest changes in the direction and possibly the magnitude of the electric field, but they do not directly imply the presence of a charge in that region. Charges create electric fields, but non-parallel field lines could result from external fields interacting or from charges located outside the region in question.
