A) cannot be placed on the line joining the first two charges.
B) must be placed on the line joining the first two charges, between the charges, and closer to -2q.
C) must be placed on the line joining the first two charges, between the charges, and closer to -q.
D) must be placed on the line joining the first two charges, not between the charges, and on the -2q charge side.
E) must be placed on the line joining the first two charges, not between the charges, and on the -q charge side.
