  4. D

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

For an object to undergo only translational motion without rotation, the force must be applied through its centre of mass (COM).Let the horizontal bar (AB) have mass and vertical bar (attached to C) have mass .Assuming uniform density, if length of AB is and vertical part is : is at . is at (midpoint of vertical bar).Assuming bars are identical per unit length: .

Distance from C or .(Note: Based on exact image dimensions, or other values might arise depending on the specific geometry/mass distribution described in the figure).
