Potlatch, ceremonial distribution of property and gifts to affirm or reaffirm social status, as uniquely institutionalized by the American Indians of the Northwest Pacific coast. The potlatch reached its most elaborate development among the southern Kwakiutl from 1849 to 1925. Although each group had its characteristic version, the potlatch had certain general features. Ceremonial formalities were observed in inviting guests, in speechmaking, and in the distribution of goods by the donor according to the social rank of the recipients. The size of the gatherings reflected the rank of the donor. Great feasts and generous hospitality accompanied the potlatch, and the efforts of the kin group of the host were exerted to maximize the generosity. The proceedings gave wide publicity to the social status of donor and recipients because there were many witnesses.

Answer:

b) electrons jump onto or off the neutral ball when a charged object comes close

Explanation:

What causes a pithball to move is when "electrons jump onto or off the neutral ball when a charged object comes close".

The pithball electroscope is actually used to test if a body is charged or not. When a charged body is brought near the pithball, the ball moves. The movement of that charged body reveal that there are electrons it is carrying.

The pithball can actually be charged. It is charged by touching a charged object to it. This leads to some of the charges on the surface of the charged object moving to the surface of the ball. The pith-ball electroscope was invented by John Canton, a British schoolmaster and physicist in 1754.
