The correct response is:
Electrons from the carpet move into the wool socks, giving Sally and her socks a positive charge.
When Sally rubs her feet on the nylon carpet with wool socks, electrons are transferred from the carpet to the wool socks through the process of friction. As a result, the wool socks (and Sally) lose electrons and gain a positive charge while the carpet gains a negative charge.
