The correct response is:

**Electrons from the carpet move into the wool socks, giving Sally and her socks a positive charge.**

In this scenario, as Sally rubs her feet on the nylon carpet, electrons are transferred from the carpet to the wool socks. This transfer causes the wool socks (and thus Sally) to become positively charged, as they lose electrons.
