Two identical conducting spheres A and B carry equal charge and exert electrostatic forces of magnitude F on each other. They are separated by a distance much larger than their diameters. A third identical conducting sphere C is uncharged. Sphere C is first touched to A, then to B, and finally removed. As a result, the electrostatic force between A and B becomes:

A) F/2 B) F/4 C) 3F/8 D) F/16 E) 0
