After a great many contacts with the charged ball, how is any charge on the rod arranged (when the charged ball is far away) ? There is positive charge on end B and negative charge on end A. There is negative charge spread evenly on both ends. There is negative charge on end A with end B remaining neutral. There is positive charge on end A with end B remaining neutral. The conducting rod is not grounded, so a negative charge accumulates on one end, but a charge cannot remain at a single end in a conductor, so it will spread to both ends:There is negative charge spread evenly on both ends

The correct option is that both the ends will remain neutral.

Explanation:

As the rod is grounded all of the prolonged charge will be converted to ground so the overall charge on the rod in absence of the charged ball will be equal to zero. Such that the both ends will not bear any charge.
