Answer: option <span>D. be given a positive charge produced by the movement of electrons to the other end of the ball.
</span>
Explanation:
This phenomenon is called electrostatic induction.
The excess of negative charge on the end of the rod will repel the electrons on the side of the pith ball that have been approached to it.
Then the electrons on the pith ball will move far away from this end with it will be left an excess of positive charge.
In this way the rod has induced that the ball acquires a positive charge on one end and a negative charge on the other end.

To solve this we assume
that the gas inside the balloon is an ideal gas. Then, we can use the ideal gas
equation which is expressed as PV = nRT. At a constant pressure and number of
moles of the gas the ratio T/V is equal to some constant. At another set of
condition of temperature, the constant is still the same. Calculations are as
follows:
T1 / V1 = T2 / V2
V2 = T2 x V1 / T1
V2 = 293.15 x 300 / 333.15
V2 = 263.98 cm^3
It will sink because water has a density of 1. and 1.1 is greater than 1 which means that the object is denser than the water so it will cause it to sink
