To draw a conclusion about the interactions given in the table, we can analyze the charge types and the forces involved.

  1. Interaction A involves a positive charge (+1) and a negative charge (-2), resulting in a weak attractive force.
  2. Interaction B involves two positive charges (+1 and +2), resulting in a strong repulsive force.

Let's evaluate the responses:

  • Repulsive forces are stronger than attractive forces. This is correct because the force in Interaction B (repulsive) is described as strong, while the force in Interaction A (attractive) is described as weak.

  • Positive charges are stronger than negative charges. This is misleading; the strength of the force depends on the context of interaction rather than the types of charges alone.

  • The objects in Interaction A are smaller than in interaction B. The table does not provide information about the size of the objects, so this cannot be concluded.

  • The objects in interaction A are farther apart than in interaction B. The table does not provide specific distances, so this conclusion cannot be made either.

Based on the analysis, the correct conclusion is: Repulsive forces are stronger than attractive forces.
