• B. must be neutral
• C. may be neutral
• D. must be positively charged

The correct option is C may be neutral

Just because a positively charged object attracts another object, it doesn't necessarily imply that the latter object is negatively charged.

Positively (or negatively) charged objects can also attract neutral conductors by the process of induction.
