Correct option is B)

Hint:
Direction of Electric Field is from positive charge to negative charge.


Correct Option is B.
Explanation for the correct answer:
Since, we know that Electric Potential decreases in the direction of Electric Field. In the given figure the Electric Potential is minimum at the right most side and is maximum at the left most side. Option D is incorrect.
Potential is decreasing from left to right, thus it is maximum at point B and is minimum at point C. Option A and C are incorrect and Option B is correct.

Thus, only Option B is correct.
