The correct option is D

Electric field inside the conductor is zero. Also it can terminate or originate at 90° to the surface (as vecEr=0 ) ∴ Option (C) is correct.

The correct option is $D$

Electric field inside the conductor is zero.
Also it can terminate or originate at $9 0^{\circ}$ to the surface (as $E_{r} = 0$ )
$∴$ Option (C) is correct.
