EP=Q4Aε0+Q4Aε0=Q2Aε00. Hence a point charge kept at P will
experience a non-zero force     Option (a) is wrong.
Electric field between the plates, E=3Q2Aε0
Potential difference between the plates,  V=Ed=3Q2Aε0d
But C=Aε0d

V=3Q2C                      Option (b) is correct
The energy stored in the electric field in the region between the plates is
 U=12CV2=12C3Q2C2=9Q28C              Option (c) is correct.
The force on one plate due to the other plate is

F=electric  field  on  the  platecharge   on  plate

F=E23Q2=3Q4Aε03Q2=9Q28Aε0         Option (d) is wrong.
