Explanation:

• Opposite charges attract. Since balloon A is positively - charged and A and B attract each other, balloon B could be negatively charged.
• A charged object (whether positive or negative) can attract neutral objects due to electrostatic induction. Balloon B attracts neutral paper bits, which means balloon B is charged. Since it can't be positive (as positive and positive would repel, and A is positive), it must be negative.

Answer:

Negative
