Consider two cylindrical, infinitely long charged rods with linear charge densities of

Consider two cylindrical, infinitely long charged rods with linear charge densities of plusminus? where ? > 0 that lie perpendicular to the plane of the paper. Points A, B, C and D lie in a plane perpendicular to the charged rods. The locations of the points are indicated in the figure in terms of dimensions a and h. (The dashed lines form a rectangular grid.) Which choice gives the correct relationship between the potential at points B, C, and D?
