A neutral (unchanged) metal ball is suspended using a non-magnetic string. A positively charged insulating rod is placed near the ball which is observed to be attracted to the rod. This is because

• the ball becomes positively charged by induction

• the ball becomes negatively charged by induction

• there is a rearrangement of the electrons in the ball

• the number of electrons in the ball is more than the number of electrons on the rod
