Solution

An electrostatic force is a force that acts between particles with opposite charges. This force can either be attractive or repulsive depending on the nature of the charges. If the charges are of the same type (both positive or both negative), they repel each other. If the charges are of opposite types (one positive and one negative), they attract each other. This is based on Coulomb's law which states that the force between two charges is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. So, the correct answer is B. A force that acts between particles with opposite charges.
