Hint: We can draw the diagram according to the question, then consider a small part on the rod where the force exerted by the two charges will be calculated and after applying the concept of electric force, we will obtain the desired result.

 Formula used:
Formula for electric force between the two charges is:
F=Kq1q2r2 where,
F = Force acting on the body
q1 = magnitude charge 1
q2 = magnitude charge 1
K = proportionality constant.

The conducting rod has length L and charge Q, at a distance r from this rod, a charge q is present.
Let the linear charge density of this rod be λ, so:
 λ=QL _________ (1)
Because linear charge density is defined as the quantity of charge per unit length
From q, at distance x, a part dx of the rod having charge dQ (small part of Q) is considered.
Q = dQ
L = dx
Substituting these values in (1)
λ=QLQ=λLdQ=λdx
Now,
dQ=QLdx [since of 1] ________ (2)
Force between two charges is given as:
The force between the two charges is directly proportional to the product of magnitude of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Fq1q2r2 or
F=Kq1q2r2
Here,
F = dF (acting on the small considered part)
q1 = dQ
q2 = q
r = x (distance from q)
Substituting these values, we get:
dF=KdQ.qx2
Substituting the value of dQ from (2):
dF=Kqx2.QLdx
We have to calculate this force ranging from r to r + L, for that, we need to integrate both the sides:
dF=rr+LKqx2.QLdx
Taking the constants out, we get:
F=KQqLrr+L1x2
1x2(x)21x2=(x)2+12+11x2=(x)11x2=[1x]
Substituting:
F=KQqL[1x]rr+LF=KQqL[1r1r+L]F=KQqL×r+Lrr(r+L)F=KQqr(r+L) 
Therefore, the magnitudes of electric force between the two charges is KQqr(r+L) and the correct option is D).

Note: For integration, remember:
xndx=xn+1n+1
After integration with limits, the higher substituted limit (written at top on sign) is subtracted from the lower substituted limit (written at bottom on sign)
The value of K in F=Kq1q2r2 is 14πε0
