Solution

The correct option is B. They acquire equal and opposite charges

When two bodies are rubbed against each other, some electrons are transferred from one body to another body.

Hence one body has a deficiency of electrons and another body has an excess of electrons by the same amount.

Hence, one body acquires a positive while the other acquires a negative charge of the same magnitude.
