Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Since, there is a negative charge present on the ball and a positive charge present on the rod. So, when the negatively charged metal ball will come in contact with the rod then positive charges from rod get conducted towards the metal ball.
Hence, the rod gets neutralized. But towards the metal ball there is a continuous supply of negative charges. Therefore, after the neutralization of positive charge from the rod there will be flow of negative charges from the metal ball towards the rod.
Thus, we can conclude that negative charge spread evenly on both ends.
It takes work to push charge through a change of potential.
There's no change of potential along an equipotential path,
so that path doesn't require any work.

When we swim we apply force and push the water backward with the help of our hands. In response, The water pushes us forward with an equal force. Thus, in order to move forward and swim, the swimmer lushes the water backward. Newton's 3rd law of motion
