Points A$,$ B$,$ and C lie along a line from up to down, respectively. Point B is at a lower electric potential than point A$.$ Point C is at a lower electric potential than point B$.$ Which one of the following statements best describes the subsequent motion, if any, of a negatively$-$charged particle released from rest at point B$?$

U B $>$ UA

UA$>$UB

UA $=$ UB

UA $>$ UB or UA $$ UB depending on the actual distances from the points to the plates
