Solution

The correct option is C charge
For two objects to be interacting via electrostatic force, the object must possess charge. Charges apply a force on each other. They are of two kinds- positive and negative. Like charges (example two positive charges) repel each other and unlike charges attract each other (example one positive and one negative charge).
