if you rub a balloon across your shirt several times on a dry day, the balloon will stick to your shirt. why is this?
the fibers on the shirt are very fine and stick to the balloon
the fibers on the shirt become lodged in tiny holes in the balloon
the balloon and your shirt develop opposite charges and are attracted to each other
moisture on the balloon sticks to the shirt

Explanation:

When two non - conducting objects rub, electrons transfer, creating static charge. For the balloon - shirt case, rubbing causes charge separation (opposite charges on balloon and shirt). Opposite charges attract, so the balloon sticks. The first two options (fiber - related) are incorrect as it's a charge phenomenon. The last option (moisture) is wrong as it's a dry day.

Answer:

For the first question: static charge. For the second question: The balloon and your shirt develop opposite charges and are attracted to each other.
