Solution
The correct option is C Side A will be positively charged
When a charged body is brought near a conducting object like an aluminum rod, rearrangement of free electrons in an aluminium rod takes place. This phenomenon is known as electrostatic induction.
As the negative charge is brought near to the side A, electrons from the side A will move towards the right due to repulsion.
Hence, side A will be positively charged and the right side will be negatively charged to make the aluminium rod overall neutral.
