A) the ball becomes positively charged by induction
B) the ball becomes negatively charged by induction
C) the number of electrons in the ball is more than the number in the rod
D) the string is not a perfect insulator
E) there is a rearrangement of the electrons in the ball
E) there is a rearrangement of the electrons in the ball
