From the given cross-sectional view of the electrodes:
At A, the electric fields are additive, that is, \left|F_1+F_2\right|

At C, the electric fields are subtractive, that is, \left|F_1-F_2\right|

At D, electric field is only \left|F_2\right|

At B, the electric field is at an angle, that is,

\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2+2 F_1 F_2 \cos \theta}

Thus the electric field is the maximum at A.
