As discussed (Concept missing)

For conducting sphere,

Potential at the center=Potential on the sphere

                                 =\frac{1}{4\pi \varepsilon _{o}} \: \frac{Q}{R}

 

Electric field at the centre=0


Option 1)

Zero and \frac{\text{Q}}{4\pi\epsilon_{\text{o}}\text{R}^{2}}

This option is incorrect

Option 2)

 and Zero

This option is correct

Option 3)

 and \frac{\text{Q}}{4\pi\epsilon_{\text{o}}\text{R}^{2}}

This option is incorrect

Option 4)

Both are zero

This option is incorrect
