The correct answer is:
a force to the right and a clockwise torque
Hint : 
\(E \propto \frac{1}{r}\)
\(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{F}_1 > \mathrm{F}_2 \\ & \therefore \quad \mathrm{F}_{\text {net }} \text { towards right } \tau_{\text {net }} \text { clockwise. }\end{aligned}\)
\(E \propto \frac{1}{r}\)
\(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{F}_1 > \mathrm{F}_2 \\ & \therefore \quad \mathrm{F}_{\text {net }} \text { towards right } \tau_{\text {net }} \text { clockwise. }\end{aligned}\)
