Image A, because the top and bottom of the balloon have less charge. Image B, because the negatively charged balloon attracts positive charges in the wall's surface and repels the negative charges away from the wall's surface. Image C, because there is not enough charge in the balloon to completely repel all of the negative charges on the wall's surface. Image D, because the negative charges in the wall will be attracted to the positive charges on the other side of the balloon.
