The correct conclusion about the interactions is:

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

In interaction A, the charges are opposite (one positive and one negative), resulting in an attractive force that is described as "weak." In interaction B, both charges are positive, producing a strong repulsive force. The fact that interaction A has a weaker force compared to the strong force in interaction B suggests that the objects in A must be farther apart than those in B.
