Answer: The two balls will attract each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know, like charges repel each other and unlike charges attract each other.

We are given in the question, that two plastic balls are there having opposite charges that are hung by a string and are close to each other. These two charges have different charges and hence, they are considered as unlike charges.

So, these two balls will attract each other.
