They start from positive charges and end at negative charges.

They can never cross each other.

They form closed loops.

They are continuous curves in a charge-free region.

Correct Answer:

They form closed loops.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → They form closed loops.

Electric field lines have the following properties:

1. They start from positive charges and end at negative charges ✔

2. They never intersect each other ✔

3. They are continuous curves in a charge-free region ✔

4. They do not form closed loops (this is a property of magnetic field lines, not electric field lines) ❌

Answer: They form closed loops.
