Answer: b
Explanation: the two pieces will repel as both have obtained a static charge.
Given
Three 7 ohm resistor are in series.
The battery is V=10V
To find
The equivalent resistance
Explanation
When the resistance are in series then the resistance are added to find its equivalent.
Thus the equivalent resistance is:

Conclusion
The equivalent resistance is 21 ohm
256 kPa because p-guage + p-absolute + p-atmospheric = 256
