Answer:

b. Relates the electric field at points on a closed surface to the net charge enclosed by that surface

Explanation:

Gauss's law states that the flux of certain fields through a closed surface is proportional to the magnitude of the sources of that field within the same surface. The electric flux expresses the measure of the electric field that crosses a certain surface. Therefore, the electric field on a closed surface is proportional to the net charge enclosed by that surface.
