Correct Answer

B

Explanation

To calculate the electric field intensity (E) of a field, you can use the formula:

E = F / q

where E is the electric field intensity, F is the force exerted on the charge, and q is the magnitude of the charge.

In this case, you have a charge of 0.2 coulomb and a force of 4N. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:

E = 4N / 0.2C

E = 20 N/C

Therefore, the electric field intensity of the field is 20 N/C.
