Options

• Option A

  is zero as r increases for r < R; decreases as r increases for r > R

• Option B

  is zero as r increases for r < R; increases as r increases for r > R

• Option C

  decreases as r increases for r < R and for r > R

• Option D

  increases as r increases for r < R and for r > R
