Solution

The correct option is B does not lose any charge
When a charged body is brought near an uncharged body, an opposite charge is developed on the uncharged body near the charged body. This is called induction. The charges on the charged body do not lose by the method of induction. In fact, the free electron of uncharged body accumulates near the charged body.
