Answer:

The correct answer is A positive charge because of a covalent bond with oxygen.

Step-by-step explanation:

Water is a polar molecule which consist of 2 hydrogen atom and 1 oxygen atom.The oxygen atom is more Electronegative than hydrogen atom.

As a result the oxygen atom attract the bonding electron pair towards itself due to which it acquires partial negative charge and the hydrogen atom gets partial positive charge.

This unequal distribution of bonding electron pair provides the polar nature to water.
