Solution
The correct option is Cpositive,negative On rubbing a glass rod with silk, the electrons from the glass rod get transferred to the silk. The silk now has an excess of electrons and so is negatively-charged. On the other hand, the glass rod is deficient in electrons and hence is positively-charged. In the above example, the silk undergoes negative electrification. Therefore,when a glass rod is rubbed with silk. The charge on glass rod is positive and the charge on silk is negative.
