Solution

The electrostatic field is conservative. This means that the work done by the field in moving a charge from one point to another is independent of the path taken. It only depends on the initial and final positions. This is a property of conservative fields. Solenoidal fields, on the other hand, have zero divergence, which means that they do not originate or terminate at any point. This is not a property of electrostatic fields, as they originate and terminate at charges. Therefore, the electrostatic field is not solenoidal. So, the correct answer is that the electrostatic field is conservative.
