1 A)

2. The overall charge of the door may be neutral if it is not electrically grounded, but the door area in contact with the balloon is charged positively in any case, due to polarization and induction. I don't whether to advise you to answer A or B, because the question is too vague about grounding and which part of the door they are referring to.
