Answer»

The correct ANSWER is (d) Unbounded surface

Explanation: Gauss’s Law is VALID only in case of a closed surface. Solid or hollow sphere, CUBE are closed surface and so Gauss’s Law can be applied in those cases. But in case of unbounded surface, there is no MEANING of charge BOUNDED by the surface and so Gauss’s Law cannot be applied in those cases.
