Solution
The correct option is D induction The process of charging a conductor by induction includes bringing another charged conductor close to it, but without any physical contact between the two conductors. In such case, the side of the conductor closer to the charging conductor acquires the kind of charge opposite to that on the charging conductor, and the side farther away from the charging conductor acquires the kind of charge similar to that on the charging conductor.
