Two identical positive charges are fixed at (0, b) and (0,-b). A particle with negative charge starts from negative x-axis at a large distance from O, moves along the x-axis, passes through O and moves far away from O. The particle's acceleration is ai^. a is plotted against its x-coordinate. Which of the following best represents the plot?
