The correct answer is: The positive charge of the ball and the negative charge of your hair repel each other.
When the Van de Graaff generator charges the ball with a positive charge, the negative charges in your hair are attracted to the positive charges on the ball. This causes the hair to stand up and creates the sensation of a small shock when you touch the ball, due to the repulsive force between the positive charges on the ball and the positive charges in your hair.
