Detailed Solution

In conduction, the conductor is indeed touched by the charged body. When a charged object comes into direct contact with a conductor, such as metal, electrons can flow between them, resulting in the transfer of charge from the charged body to the conductor.

In induction, there is no direct transfer of charge between the charged body and the conductor. Instead, a charged body is brought near a conductor without physical contact. This causes the redistribution of charges within the conductor, creating an induced charge separation. The presence of the charged body induces a temporary polarization of charges in the conductor, but no actual transfer of charge occurs between them.
