Four point charges are placed at the corners of a square whose centre is at the origin of a Cartesian coordinate system. A point dipole $$\overrightarrow {\bf{p}} $$ is placed at the centre of the square as shown in the figure. Then,

A. there is no force acting on the dipole
B. there is no torque about the centre at O on the dipole
C. the dipole has minimum energy if it is in $${{{\bf{\hat e}}}_x}$$ direction
D. the force on the dipole is increased if the medium is replaced by another medium with larger dielectric constant
