• A. Always continuous.
• B. Continuous if there is no charge at that point.
• C. Discontinuous if there is a charge at that point.
• D. Both $\left(B\right)\text{and}\left(C\right)$ .

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Electric field at a point is continuous if there is no charge at the point. And the field is discontinuous if there is charge at the point. So both options (B) and (C) are correct.
