The correct response is:
Electrons from the carpet move into the wool socks, giving Sally and her socks a negative charge.
When Sally rubs her feet on the polyester carpet with wool socks, friction causes electrons to transfer from the carpet to the wool socks. This process gives Sally and her socks a negative charge due to the accumulation of excess electrons.
