Answer: Move away.

Explanation:

We know that like charges repel each other and unlike charges attract each other. So, when two negatively charged particles are brought close together and then released, they move away from each other because of their similar charge and hence, they repel each other. The electrostatic force of repulsion acts between the two similar charged particles.
