    Positively charged objects attract negatively charged objects,

    Explanation:

    When there are two electric charges, the force between them is:

    - repulsive if the two charges have same sign (positive-positive or negative-negative)

    - attractive if the two charges have opposite signs (positive-negative)

    Moreover, a neutral object does not exert/experience any force on/from charged objects.

    Keeping in mind these facts, we have:

    Positively charged objects attract other positively charged objects, - -> false, force is repulsive

    Negatively charged objects attract other negotively charged objects - -> false, force is repulsive

    Positively charged objects attract negatively charged objects, - -> true, force is attractive

    Positively charged objects attract neutral objects, - -> false, there is no force

    Negatively charged objects attract neutral objects - -> false, there is no force
