In an experiment, the non-charged balloon moves towards the charged rod. this is applicable with the spheres.
Suppose the sphere is positively charged, the neutrally charged sphere becomes is negatively charged. The positively charged sphere causes the other sphere to be polarized, with negative charge on the side closest to the first sphere. Now the second sphere moves towards the first sphere. answer is A.
