A point charge \(Q\) is placed inside a cavity within a solid, isolated conducting sphere. Consider points \(A,B\) and \(C\) as shown in the figure, where the magnitudes of the electric fields are \(E_A\), \(E_B\) and \(E_C\), respectively. The points \(B\) and \(C\) are at the same distance from the centre of the solid sphere. The correct option is:
1. \(E_A \neq 0, E_B < E_C\) 2. \(E_A = 0, E_B = E_C\)
3. \(E_A \neq 0, E_B = E_C\) 4. \(E_A = 0, E_B > E_C\)
