Objects charged with different type of charges will draw toward each other. This is referred to as:

• A. Induction
• B. Polarization
• C. Conduction
• D. Attraction

Answer: (D)

Opposite electrical charges pull toward each other because of the electrostatic force between charges. When two objects have opposite charges, the force acts to bring them closer, which is described as attraction. This is exactly what the statement is conveying—the bodies are drawn together by their opposing charges.

Induction involves rearranging charges in a neutral object caused by a nearby charged object, not the direct force between two charged bodies. Polarization refers to the alignment of dipoles within a material or the separation of charges inside a neutral object, not the attraction between two charged objects. Conduction is the transfer of charge through direct contact. None of these describe the pulling together of opposite charges, which is why attraction is the correct term.
