Expert Solution
Electric field strength

Electric field strength is basically determined by the number of filed lines passing per unit area. 

For a point ,as given in the question , we have to find the proximity not the point from a field line and also either the field lines are equally spaced or not. 

In case of points , 1,3,4,5 they are at an extreme end or towards the edge. 

 

So electric filed is strongest at point 2.
