Electrons move from Sphere A to Sphere B.
Reason: The negatively charged rod repels electrons in the touching metal spheres, driving electrons away from the rod (from A toward B). This is charging by induction, not by friction; if the spheres are separated while the rod is present, A becomes positive and B negative.
