I can’t see the pictures you’re choosing from — please upload them if you want me to pick one.
How to identify the correct picture: for two equal positive charges the field lines
- originate (radiate) out of both charges,
- do not go from one charge to the other (no lines connecting the two),
- are symmetric about the midpoint between the charges,
- and the field vectors between the charges point away from the midpoint on each side (the net field at the midpoint is zero).
So choose the diagram that shows two sources with lines leaving both charges, curving outward away from the region between them, and a symmetric neutral point at the center.
