B
can cause objects to only repel each other
C
can cause objects to attract or repel each other
D
have no effect on objects
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Electric forces are repulsive for objects of like charge and attractive between objects of the opposite type of charge or between charged objects and neutral objects.

Detailed explanation-2: -Positive and negative charged objects attract or pull each other together, while similar charged objects (2 positives or 2 negatives) repel or push each other apart.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: In the given statement (c) is true, Electric forces cause the objects to repel or attract each other. The electric force is a force of interaction between two charged particles. Each charged particle carries a field of electric force.

Detailed explanation-4: -Like charges repel each other; unlike charges attract. Thus, two negative charges repel one another, while a positive charge attracts a negative charge. The attraction or repulsion acts along the line between the two charges. The size of the force varies inversely as the square of the distance between the two charges.

Detailed explanation-5: -If two objects have different charges, they attract (or pull towards) each other. If two objects have the same charge, they repel (or push away) from each other.
