Answer: A. Object A will have a positive charge.

Explanation: If the number of protons and electrons are the same, their net charges cancel each other out, and you have a neutral charge. If electrons are transferred to another object, the amount of positive charge will outweigh the amount of negative charge. As a result, you are left with an overall positive charge in object A. Meanwhile, object B is now negative.
