Answer:

Static Energy

Step-by-step explanation:

Human skin is easily positively charged.

Plastic wrap is an insulator which means it does not allow electrons to flow from one to the other. Plastic wrap is negatively charged and human skin is positively charged and opposite charges attract. Hope this helps.
