We know, Charges can be transferred from one body to another.

Number of atoms in the given mass =  \frac{10}{63.5}\times 6.02\times 10^{23}=9.48\times 10^{22}

Number of electrons transferred between the balls = \frac{9.48\times 10^{22}}{10^{6}}=9.48\times10^{16}

\therefore Magnitude of charge gained by each ball =

Q=(9.48\times 10^{16})\times(1.6\times10^{-19})=0.015\: C

\therefore Force of attraction between the balls =  F=9\times 10^{9}\times\frac{(0.015)^{2}}{(0.1)^{2}}=2\times10^{8}N

Option C. is correct
