Correct option is A)

Hint: Use formula of force on the particle by dipole

Explanation:
Step 1: Formula used:
Force on particle by dipole is given by the formula:

Electric filed due to dipole on axial condition is given by:

 

Step 2: Conclusion:

So, force is proportional to the cube of distance inversely.

If the distance is doubled, then force will be  time of the original force.

Answer:

Hence, option A is the correct answer.
