Correct option is

For a point inside the earth i.e. r < RE=−GMR3rwhere M and R be mass and radius of the earth respectively. At the centre, r = 0∴ E=0For a point outside the earth i.e. r > R, E=−GMr2  On the surface of the earth i.e. r = RE=−GMR2The variation of E with distance r from the centre is as shown in the figure.
