Lynn rubs a balloon with a piece of wool, which causes the balloon to pick up some of the electric charges from the wool. Lynn then observes that the balloon temporarily sticks to a wall. After several seconds, the balloon falls to the ground.

A
The strong force causes the balloon to stick to the wall, and the weak force causes the balloon to fall to the ground.
B
The weak force causes the balloon to stick to the wall, and the strong force causes the balloon to fall to the ground.
C
The electromagnetic force causes the balloon to stick to the wall, and gravitational force causes the balloon to fall to the ground.
D
Gravitational force causes the balloon to stick to the wall, and electromagnetic force causes the balloon to fall to the ground.
