B. Charging of two bodies on rubbing them together is called static or frictional electricity.

Static or frictional electricity refers to the phenomenon where two objects become electrically charged when they are rubbed together. This occurs due to the transfer of electrons from one object to another, resulting in a buildup of electric charge on the objects. The rubbing action creates friction, which facilitates the transfer of electrons between the objects, leading to the development of static or frictional electricity.
