    Negative

    Explanation:

    If a negatively charged object is used to charge a neutral object by induction, then the neutral object will acquire a positive charge. And if a positively charged object is used to charge a neutral object by induction, then the neutral object will acquire a negative charge:

    We have a neutral sphere

    1) Electrons are attracted to the positive charge

    2) Electrons enter the sphere from ground, attrated to the + charge in the sphere

    3) The sphere has an excess of e - having entered from the ground

    4) Electrons redistribute uniformly
