Answer: I think the answer to this question is D.The rubbing moves electrons to the object that holds them more tightly

Step-by-step explanation:

When one object is rubbed against another, static electricity can be created. This is because the rubbing creates a negative charge that is carried by electrons. ... Similarly, when you rub a balloon on your head it causes opposite static charges to build up both on your hair and the balloon
