The correct answer to the following question will be "Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) ".

Explanation:

Immediate release of electricity through two objects that are electrically charger caused by the interaction, or thermal transfer, called Electrostatic discharge. Electrostatic activation or Tribocharging can create a rebound of static electricity. It might destroy the chips and kill the motherboards, though with the untrained eye it might not be felt or even seen.

Therefore, it's the right answer.
