When a negatively charged balloon is brought near a neutral wall, it induces a separation of charges in the wall. The negative charges in the wall will be repelled by the balloon, while the positive charges will be attracted toward the side of the wall that is closer to the balloon.
Therefore, the correct response is:
The wall will have its positive charges on the side closer to the balloon.
