The figures below depict two situations in which two infinitely long static line charges of constant positive line charge density are kept parallel to each other. In their resulting electric field, point charges and are kept in equilibrium between them. The point charges are confined to move in the direction only. If they are given a small displacement about their equilibrium positions, then the correct statement(s) is (are) 

- ABoth charges execute simple harmonic motion
- BBoth charges will continue moving in the direction of their displacement
- CCharge executes simple harmonic motion while charge continues moving in the direction of its displacement
- DCharge executes simple harmonic motion while charge continues moving in the direction of its displacement
