  • C It is never possible. ✔ ✖
  • D The smaller sphere should be grounded. ✔ ✖
Correct Answer: Option A

Explanation

In order for charge to flow from the smaller sphere to the larger sphere, the spheres should be placed concentrically, with the smaller sphere positioned inside the larger sphere. When connected with a wire, the charge will redistribute itself on the outer surfaces of both spheres, with some charge flowing from the smaller sphere to the larger sphere.
