Answer 1

The scenario you described illustrates the **law of electricity**. Specifically, it demonstrates the principle that like charges repel each other—since all of Steve's hair strands acquired the same positive charge from the Van de Graaff generator, they repelled each other and stood on end. Therefore, the correct response is:

**D** law of electricity.
