Answer»

Correct choice is (b) DIRECTED towards the CHARGE

Easy EXPLANATION: If a unit positive charge is KEPT NEAR a negative charge, the unit positive charge will be attracted towards the negative charge. That means the electric field is towards the negative charge. But in case of positive charge, the field is directed away from the charge.
