Is this question from the most recent mcat in august? I remember a question very similar, if not identical to that question in my physical sciences section. I put the answer that said something like "the direction of the electric field at that particular point" Im pretty sure this is right, because a tangent is like an instantaneous slope of a curve at any particular point, and if you have an electic field line, the tnagent at any point on that line would be the direction of the electirc field at that particular point.•
