The electric field due to an electric dipole is not spherically symmetric because it depends on both the distance from the dipole and the angle with respect to the dipole axis. Instead, it has a distinct pattern with stronger fields along the axial line and weaker fields along the equatorial line. This makes the field asymmetric. Thus, the correct answer is (c) asymmetric.

    1. The electric field due to an electric dipole is cylindrically symmetric around the axis joining the two charges. This symmetry arises because the field depends on the dipole moment and varies with position but remains symmetric about the dipole axis.
      Answer: (b) cylindrically symmetric.
