Answer 2

Answer;

D. The table tennis ball will become polarized, with positive charges toward the glass rod

Explanation;

• A neutral table tennis ball has both equal number of negatively charges and positively charges. When a negatively charged rod is brought near the table tennis ball, the positive charges will move towards the tennis ball, from the basic law of electrostatics, like charges repel and unlike charges attract.
• Therefore, because positive charges are not mobile, the table tennis ball will becomes polarized with the positive charges toward the glass rod, while the negative charges will repel by the negatively charged glass rod.
