To determine the charges on B and C based on the information given:
1. A is positively charged.
2. B repels A, which means B must also have a positive charge (since like charges repel).
3. C is attracted to A, which indicates that C must have a negative charge (since opposite charges attract).
Given this analysis, the correct answer is:
**A. B is positively charged and C is negatively charged.**
