If two balloons repel each other, they must both have the same type of electrical charge. Therefore, the correct answer is:

positive and positive or negative and negative (not explicitly listed in your options, but they both imply the same concept of like charges).

So, you could say they do not have a positive and negative charge; they are either both positively charged or both negatively charged.
