$A$ hollow conducting sphere is placed in an electric field produced by a point charge at point $P$. If the electric potentials at points $A$,$B$,and $C$ are $V_A$,$V_B$,and $V_C$ respectively,as shown in the figure,then:

  • A
    $V_C > V_B$
  • B
    $V_B > V_C$
  • C
    $V_A > V_B$
  • D
    $V_A = V_C$
