An electric dipole consisting of two opposite charges of $2 \times 10^{-6} \text{ C}$ separated by a distance of $3 \text{ cm}$ is placed in an electric field of $2 \times 10^5 \text{ N/C}$. The maximum torque acting on the dipole is:

  • A
    $12 \times 10^{-1} \text{ N-m}$
  • B
    $24 \times 10^{-3} \text{ N-m}$
  • C
    $12 \times 10^{-3} \text{ N-m}$
  • D
    $24 \times 10^{-1} \text{ N-m}$
