Points $A,B,$ and $C$ lie along a line from up to down, respectively. Point $B$ is at a lower electric potential than point $A.$ Point $C$ is at a lower electric potential than point $B.$ Which one of the following statements best describes the subsequent motion, if any, of a negatively$-$charged particle released from rest at point $B?$

The particle will accelerate in the direction of point A

The particle will move at constant velocity in the direction of point $A$

The particle will remain at rest.

The particle will move at constant velocity in the direction of point $C$

The particle will accelerate in the direction of point A

The particle will move at constant velocity in the direction of point A

The particle will remain at rest.

The particle will move at constant velocity in the direction of point C
