In the Rubber-Wool example, the material that becomes negatively charged is **Wool - because it gained electrons**.
When rubber and wool are rubbed together, rubber tends to gain electrons, thereby becoming negatively charged, while wool loses electrons and becomes positively charged. The statement correctly emphasizes that wool gains electrons, which results in its negative charge.
