The correct answer is:
**a. protons and electrons exchange places between amber and cloth**
However, it's important to clarify that in reality, electrons are the particles that primarily move between materials during the charging process, while protons typically remain fixed in the atomic nuclei and do not transfer between objects. When amber is rubbed with cloth, electrons may be transferred from the cloth to the amber, resulting in one material becoming negatively charged (by gaining electrons) and the other becoming positively charged (by losing electrons).
