Answer:

Neutral comb is charged through induction.

Step-by-step explanation:

The local charging of the comb is caused because of induction. The electron is pushed in the comb to the away side of the charged particle because of the negative charge which makes the close part positively charge.

Then after that when the observer move the comb away from the charge then the electron of the comb is redistributed.
