The options are missing and they are;

A) the electric force increases because the balloon loses its charge.

B) the electric force increases because the distance increases.

C) the electric force decreases because the distance increases.

D) the electric force decreases because his hair loses its charge.

Answer:

Correct answer is option C - the electric force decreases because the distance increases.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for electric force is;

F = k•q1•q2/r²

Where;

K is coulombs constant

q1 and q2 are particle charges

r is distance

So,looking at the formula given earlier, if we increase the distance, the denominator will increase and thus the Force will decrease.

So the correct option is option C
