    D. The requirement does not exist - the total electric flux is zero no matter what.

    Explanation:

    According to Gauss's law, total electric flux over a closed surface is equal to 1 / ε₀ times charge inside.

    If charge inside is zero, total electric flux over a closed surface is equal to

    zero. It has nothing to do with whether external field is uniform or not. For any external field, lines entering surface will be equal to flux going out.
