Solution

The correct option is D electrostatic induction
According to the definition of electrostatic induction, it is a redistribution of electrical charge in an object, caused by influence of nearby charges. In the presence of a charged body, an insulated conductor develops a positive charge on one end and a negative charge on other end. Such charges are called induced charges and the process is called electrostatic induction.
