D. Both (b) and (c).

Answer

D

Explanation

When a neutral body (i.e., a body which possesses equal positive and negative charge) is brought closer to a negatively charged body, the end of the body which is facing the negatively charged body acquires a positive charge and the opposite end (farther end) acquires the negative charge, but the net charge present in the body is zero, i.e., still the body will be neutral.
