Answer 1

Answer:

e. all three objects possess charges of the same sign.

Explanation:

We know that objects with same polarity will repel each other while objects with opposite polarity will attract each other. Here objects A and B repel each other which means they possess the charge of same polarity. Objects B and C also repel each other which means that they also possess the same polarity (sign).

This means that A and C will also repel each other. All the three objects possess the charge with same polarity.
