Solution

The correct option is B

They acquired different kinds of charges


Objects acquire charges when they are rubbed against another object. Also, like charges repel and unlike charges attract each other. In the above experiment, the balloon has acquired a kind of charge that is opposite to the charge acquired by the ballpen refill. As the unlike charges attract each other, the balloon and the refill developed a force of attraction with each other.
