Which describes how rubbing fur on a rubber rod makes the rod negatively charged. Select one: A. Electrons move from the fur to the rubber rod. B. Electrons move from the rubber rod to the fur. C. Protons move from the rubber rod to the fur.

A

Explanation:

Rubbing fur on a rubber rod results in the rod becoming negatively charged as a result of the movement of electrons from the fur to the rubber rod.

The process is called triboelectric charging.  When the two substances are rubbed together, their atoms come into close proximity with each other and their electron clouds interact with the fur losing electrons to the rubber due to the fact that the atoms of the rubber have higher affinities for electrons than the atoms of the fur. Hence, the fur becomes positively charged while the rubber becomes negatively charged.
