When a neutral object A is charged by induction by a charged object B, the correct response is:

Charges on object A are rearranged.

In the process of induction, the presence of the charged object B causes a redistribution of charges within neutral object A, resulting in one side of A becoming positively charged and the other side becoming negatively charged, but no actual transfer of charge occurs between the two objects.
