Solution

The correct option is C positive,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.
