The answer is correct it will collapse ( converge)
While if it's a positive charge prod brought near the cap of a charged gold leaf electroscope which is positive charge it will be induce ( diverge)

According to byus
As it is given that the cap of the gold leaf electroscope is positively charged and it is collapsed after touching a rod. The leaves of the gold leaf electroscope collapse because the charge on the leaves decreases.

It's wrong,the correct answer is D
ref:new school physics,page 58 charging of electroscope,no (i)

the correct ans is D
becus an electroscope is an instrument used in the detecting na testing of small electric charges
wen electroscope has a negetive charge nd a gold leaf is brought closer to it, they is increase in the divergence of d leaf from d brass plate
