Detailed Solution

E=-dVdr

so when E = 0 , dVdr=0=0 and V = constant value of this constant may be zero or non-zero.

For example, inside a spherical shell, E =0 and V0 , but at a very large distance from a body V =0 and E =0.

Also since mass can produce only negative potential at a point, for a system of particles V can never be zero at a point, V can be zero. So (b) is wrong and (a), (c) and (d) are right.
