None of those choices is a device commonly used to detect
the presence of a static electric charge. One of them is a
process or technique, and is not even a 'device'.
A couple of them might be jerry-rigged to detect charge, but
that is not their intended purpose or design, and it would take
some ingenuity. They're certainly not "commonly used" in that
application.

-- Compass . . . a device that detects the presence of a magnetic
field and displays its direction.

-- Voltmeter . . . a device that displays the presence and measures
the magnitude and direction of electric potential
difference between two points.

-- Electrophoresis . . . a method of separating macro molecules
according to their size.

-- Galvanometer . . . a device used to detect the presence and
measure the magnitude and direction of
small electric currents.
