Solution

The correct option is A True
The force of attraction or repulsion between two charged bodies is called electrostatic force.
It is a type of non-contact force explained by Coulomb.
Example: When we rub our hair with a balloon, some of the charges get transferred from balloon to hair making them electrically charged.
An electrostatic force of attraction starts to act between hair and balloon.
Hence, the given statement is true.
