In a regular polygon of $10$ sides,each corner is at a distance $R$ from the centre. Identical charges $q$ are placed at $9$ corners. At the centre,the magnitude of the electric field is $E$ and the potential is $V$. The ratio $\frac{V}{E}$ is

  • A
    $10 R$
  • B
    $\frac{9}{R}$
  • C
    $\frac{9}{10} R$
  • D
    $9 R$
