Negatively charged objects attract other negatively charged objects. This is false statement.

Answer: Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the law of electricity, like charges repel each other and unlike charges attract each other. So a negatively charged object will be attracting positive and neutral charges but not another negative charge.

Similarly, a positive charged object will be attracting negative and neutral charges but not another positive charge. Thus, among the given choices, the option A stating the attraction of negatively charged object by another negatively charged object is completely false. As like charges cannot attract each other.
