Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is known that like charges repel each other whereas opposite charges attract each other.

For example, when you rub balloon on your head and it becomes negatively charged then most likely it will get attracted towards a positive charge.

Therefore, we can conclude that out of the given options the balloon will be MOST attracted to positively charged hair.
