An electric dipole with dipole moment $4 \times 10^{-14} \ C \cdot m$ is aligned at $30^{\circ}$ with the direction of a uniform electric field of magnitude $5 \times 10^4 \ N/C$. The magnitude of the torque acting on the dipole is:

  • A
    $10^{-9} \ N \cdot m$
  • B
    $10^{-5} \ N \cdot m$
  • C
    $10^{-10} \ N \cdot m$
  • D
    $10^{-4} \ N \cdot m$
