Answer: that the object is negatively charged.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the force between objects that have the same type of charge is a repulsive force, while for objects with an opposite charge, the force is attractive.

In this case, we know that we have an attractive force between an object and a positively charged rod.

Then the only conclusion we can take in this situation is that the object is negatively charged.
