Attractive electrical forces occur between opposite charges (positive and negative). Let's analyze the interactions one by one:

  • Interaction A (Charges +4 and -3): Opposite charges, so this will have an attractive force.
  • Interaction B (Charges +1 and -1): Opposite charges, so this will also have an attractive force.
  • Interaction C (Charges +1 and +1): Same charges (both positive), so this will have a repulsive force.
  • Interaction D (Charges -1 and -1): Same charges (both negative), so this will also have a repulsive force.

From this analysis, the interactions that will have an attractive electrical force are Interaction A and Interaction B.

Thus, the correct response is Interaction A and B.
