Electrons are transferred when objects come into direct contact with each other best describes how electrons are transferred from one object to another.

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When two atoms or substances come in contact with each other then they react with one another. As a result, there will be exchange of electrons between them.

For example, when sodium comes in contact with chlorine then it results in the formation of sodium chloride.

              \(2Na(s) + Cl_{2}(g) \rightarrow 2NaCl(s)\)

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, electrons are transferred when objects come into direct contact with each other.
