It's (D) , because the angle is 90 ( the surface is perpendicular to the field )kuruman said:
The answer is not (D). You are correct in saying that the flux through 4 and 5 is zero. However, the problem is asking "Through which face(s) in the wedge the flux is non-zero?".Fatima Hasan said:

Electric flux through a wedge shaped block is the measure of the electric field passing through the surface of the block. It is a quantity that represents the amount of electric field lines that pass through the surface of the block.
The electric flux through a wedge shaped block can be calculated by multiplying the magnitude of the electric field passing through the surface by the surface area of the block. This is represented by the equation Φ = E x A, where Φ is the electric flux, E is the magnitude of the electric field, and A is the surface area of the block.
The unit of measurement for electric flux is volts per meter squared (V/m^2) in the SI system. In other systems, it can also be measured in newton meters squared per coulomb (N·m^2/C).
The angle of the wedge can affect the electric flux through a wedge shaped block in that a steeper angle will result in a smaller surface area, leading to a smaller electric flux. On the other hand, a wider angle will result in a larger surface area, leading to a larger electric flux.
Calculating electric flux through a wedge shaped block can help in understanding the behavior of electric fields and the amount of electric field passing through a given surface. It is also important in various applications such as in electrical engineering and in studying the properties of conductors and insulators.
