Correct Answer : Option (D) :   inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
                                                                                
                                        Explanation : Coulomb’s law states that the force of attraction or repulsion, F between two charges q1 and q2 coulombs, connected at two different points in a medium, is directly proportional to the product of their magnitude and inversely proportional to the square of distance r between them.
