List-$I$ shows four configurations,each consisting of a pair of ideal electric dipoles. Each dipole has a dipole moment of magnitude $p$,oriented as marked by arrows in the figures. In all the configurations,the dipoles are fixed such that they are at a distance $2r$ apart along the $x$-direction. The midpoint of the line joining the two dipoles is $X$. The possible resultant electric fields $\vec{E}$ at $X$ are given in List-$II$. Choose the option that describes the correct match between the entries in List-$I$ to those in List-$II$.
