The spheres are conducting, the electrons on the left of the right-hand sphere in option A will flow to the left-hand sphere, making something like option B. But the positive charges will continue to be attracted and will stay like they are in option A, while the negative charges (All having moved to the left-hand sphere) will move as far away from the negative rod as possible. Option C is right

when positive and negative charges meet at the contact point of the sphere, they cancel each other to form a neutral charge. but the charges on the outer surface of the sphere remain the same. Therefore, the answer is C
