BECAUSE

anonymous · Answer

Wait it may be D here

anonymous · Answer

my question was involving POSITIVE balloon. 

Because the electrons from one neutral substance attach to the other, causing one to have a negative charge and the other to have a positive charge

anonymous · Answer

the one with more electrons is negatively charged. (in your case the balloon) 
Meaning that the electrons came to the balloon from the wool.

anonymous · Answer

Makes sense?

So D should be your correct answer.
