A negatively charged object A is repelled by another charged object B. However, an object C is attracted to object B. Which of the following is the most probable for the charge of object C?

neutral or positively charged

The correct answer is Option (3) → neutral or positively charged

Object A is negatively charged and is repelled by B ⟶ hence, B must also be negatively charged.

Object C is attracted to B (negative), so C must be either neutral (attracted by induction) or positively charged (opposite charges attract).

Correct answer: neutral or positively charged
