A
the objects will remain still
B
the charges transferred to another object
C
the charges switched from negative to positive
D
the charges broke apart into smaller positive and negative particles
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -If a positively charged body is brought near to a neutral or uncharged body, it induces a negative charge on the near side and a positive charge on the far side of the neutral object. This creates a force of attraction between the two bodies.

Detailed explanation-2: -When a positively charged object and a negatively charged objects come in contact with each other, the charge flow from the negative charged object to the low charged positive object until the charges on both the objects become equal.

Detailed explanation-3: -The combination of positive and negative charge results in a neutral, or lack, of charge. As a result, the particles no longer repel each other.

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.
