A negatively charged object X is repelled by another charged object Y. However, an object Z is attracted to object Y. Which of the following is the most possibility for object Z?
Object X is negatively charged and is repelled by object Y, meaning Y must also be negatively charged.
Object Z is attracted to object Y. Since Y is negative, Z could be positively charged (opposite charges attract) or neutral (neutral objects are attracted to charged ones due to polarization).Thus, the most possible answer is:
(c) neutral or positively charged.

The correct answer is (c) neutral or positively charged.
Since X is negatively charged and repelled by Y, object Y must also be negatively charged. Object Z is attracted to Y, meaning Z could be either positively charged (opposite charges attract) or neutral (since a charged object can attract a neutral object due to polarization).
