The correct conclusion about the interactions based on the information provided is:

The objects in interaction A are farther apart than in interaction B.

This conclusion is supported by the fact that interaction A involves an attractive force (a positive and a negative charge) and is described as "weak," whereas interaction B involves a repulsive force (two positive charges) and is described as "strong." The weak attraction in interaction A suggests that the objects are likely farther apart, resulting in a weaker force compared to the stronger repulsive force in interaction B, where the objects are likely closer together.
