Concept Used: Electric field 

Detailed Solution:

Solve it by put an imaginary charge Q at the center of the square and now we calculate the force acting on it due to all the charges.

let the force due to charge +q is Kai^-aj^

let the force due to charge +2 q is K-2ai^-2aj

let the force due to charge +3 q is K-3ai^+3aj

let the force due to charge +4 q is K4ai^+4aj^

Thus net force on the charge =4Kaj^

Thus the net direction of EF is along DC
