A
attract
B
repel
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Like charges repel each other, and unlike charges attract each other. Thus, two positive charges repel each other, as do two negative charges. A positive charge and a negative charge attract each other.

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: -Like charges repel because they push each other away, while opposite charges attract because they pull each other towards each other. This is due to the nature of the electric force, which is a force that is exerted between two particles that have either opposite charges or similar charges.

Detailed explanation-4: -Opposite charges attract each other (negative to positive). Like charges repel each other (positive to positive or negative to negative). Most of the time positive and negative charges are balanced in an object, which makes that object neutral.

Detailed explanation-5: -Therefore, like charges repel and unlike charges attract.
