Is the force on a dipole parallel or perpendicular to the electric field?

[Iron_Man_123]

Homework Statement

The force exerted by a uniform electric field on a dipole is:
A) Parallel to the dipole moment.
B) Perpendicular to the dipole moment.
C) Parallel to the electric field.
D) Perpendicular to the electric field.
E) non of the above.

Homework Equations

Net force on dipole = 0 N

The Attempt at a Solution

I think the answer is C just out of an image from a google search but I don't know if it is correct or not

Make a drawing of the dipole as two charges separated by some distance. Put in the force on each charge, then add the two. What do you get?

On edit: I did my own search of images and I saw several showing what I asked you to draw. If the force is parallel to the electric field, as you say, in what direction would it be? With the field lines or against the field lines?
