Configuration A will repel a negative charged object.

This comes from the fact that opposite charges attract each other while equal charges repel each other. Now, we notice that configuration B is neutral (it has the same amount of positive and negative charges) then it won't have an effect on a negative charged object; meanwhile configuration C has more positive charges, then it would attract a negative charged object. Configuration A has more negative charges then it will repel a negative charged object.
