I need help with question A,B and C. I am having trouble figuring out this problem and is there any chance that you can label which one is A,B and C.  Thank you

Problem 3: A tetrahedron has an equilateral triangle base with 20-cm-long
edges and three equilateral triangle sides (see Fig. 3). The base is parallel to the
ground, and a vertical uniform electric field of strength 200 N/C passes upward
through the tetrahedron.
