1. Vector 1.

2. Vector 2.

3. Vector 3.

4. Vector 4.

5. Vector 5.

Answer:

arrow coming out of the bar with direction to infinity

Explanation:

In a positively charged bar the electric field lines extend from the bar to infinity, so they are arrow coming out of the bar with direction to infinity, the density of the arrows is indicative of the intensity of the field at the point. Note that the arrows do not cross at any point.

The burden of proof is always considered positive
