Solution

The correct option is A Negative
On rubbing the ebonite rod with fur, electrons move from fur to the ebonite rod. The electrons in fur are less tightly bound than electrons in ebonite and hence ebonite gets a negative charge. The charge on the ebonite rod is negative and the charge on the fur is positive.
