The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Here $A, B$ and $C$ must have same unit as of electric field.
So, $\frac{A}{x^3} = \frac{N}{C}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{A}{m^3} \equiv \frac{N}{C}$
$\Rightarrow A \equiv \frac{N - m^3}{C}$
and $By = \frac{V}{m}$
$\Rightarrow Bm \equiv \frac{V}{m^2}$
$\Rightarrow B \equiv \frac{V}{m^2}$
and $Cz^2 \equiv \frac{N}{C}$
$\Rightarrow Cm^2 \equiv \frac{N}{C}$
$\Rightarrow C \equiv \frac{N}{C - m^2}$

Electric Field

Electric Field is the electric force experienced by a unit charge. 

The electric force is calculated using the coulomb's law, whose formula is:

\(F=k\dfrac{|q_{1}q_{2}|}{r^{2}}\)

While substituting q2 as 1, electric field becomes:

 \(E=k\dfrac{|q_{1}|}{r^{2}}\)

SI unit of Electric Field is V/m (Volt per meter).
