An electric dipole is kept in non-uniform electric field. It experiences
A force and a torque
A force but not a torque
A torque but not a force
Neither a force nor a torque
As we have learned
Electric dipole -
Two equal and opposite charges seperated by small distance.
- wherein
As the dipole will feel two forces which are although opposite but not equal.
A net force will be there and as these forces act at different points of a body. A torque is also there.
Option 1)

Option 3)
A torque but not a force
Option 4)
Neither a force nor a torque
