The figure shows three concentric metallic spherical shells. The outermost shell has charge $q_2$,the innermost shell has charge $q_1$,and the middle shell is uncharged. The charge appearing on the inner surface of the outermost shell is

  • A
    $q_1+q_2$
  • B
    $\frac{q_2}{2}$
  • C
    $-q_1$
  • D
    $0$
