Solution

The correct option is C Using the concept of charging by friction
Being a science student, you did not accept to go outside, instead you decided to hang the balloon on the wall.
After a long thinking, you got the idea to use your knowledge of charging by friction in which there is no need of lab equipments.
You just rubbed the balloon with your hair and immediately hanged the balloon at the wall. The balloon remain hanged at the wall.
In this process, the balloon get charged by friction and when hanged with the wall, induce charge of opposite nature at the wall surface and due to which the balloon remain held by the attractive electrostatic force.
