Answer:

A). Increasing the positive charge of the positively charged object and increasing the negative charge of the negatively charged object.

Step-by-step explanation:

The two objects possessing opposite or unlike charges attract one another due to the electromagnetic force between the electrons, as well as, protons in order to develop ionic lattices.

As per the question, the objects having unlike charges would attract one another more when we 'escalate the positive charge of the object having a positive charge and enhance the negative charge of the object possessing negative charge.' This will lead the atoms that are losing electrons to be positively(+ve) charged and the atoms gaining electrons to be negatively

(-ve) charged. Thus, the electromagnetic force among them increases and a stronger ionic network develops leading them to attract each other more. Hence, option A is the correct answer.
