Solution
The correct option is C Electric discharge
The strips carrying similar charges repel each other when given charge by an external body. Hence, they move apart in the electroscope. After some time, due to the electric discharge of the foil strips, they stop repelling each other. Hence, the strips come back to their initial position.
