They will attract to the sweater because of positive and negative charges.

Answer:

The correct answer will be option- attracted to the wall.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rubbing of the balloon to the clothes causes an imbalance in the positive (protons) and negative (electrons) charges on the objects. The rubbing or friction adds the electrons to the balloon due to which balloon attain negative charge.

When the negatively charged balloon is brought near to the wall, the balloon sticks to the wall as the wall contains more positive charge than balloon. This imbalance in the opposite charges causes the attraction between the objects and both the objects sticks to each other.

Thus, attracted to the wall is the corrected answer.
