The correct answer is **B. The objects don't touch.**

Charging by induction involves inducing a charge in an object without direct contact. This process typically involves bringing a charged object near a neutral object, causing a redistribution of charges within the neutral object. In contrast, the other two methods of charging (conduction and friction) involve physical contact, where electrons are transferred directly between objects.

Option A is not related to the common methods of charging by induction, conduction, or friction, and option C is incorrect because in all these methods, it is electrons (not protons) that are typically transferred to create a charge.
