The field lines are directed from positive to negative charges, which is represented by arrows pointing from positive to negative charges. The field lines are more concentrated closer to the charges because the strength of the field is proportional to the inverse square of the distance from the charges, which means the field lines will be closer together near the charges. Therefore, the field lines are vectors with patterns that stem from the inverse square law. All of these options are correct, so the answer is D.
