Three pith balls supported by insulating threads hang from a support. We know that ball X is positively charged. When ball X is brought near balls Y and Z without touching them, it attracts Y and repels Z. Since pith is an insulating material, we can conclude that

A. Y has a negative charge. B. Z has a negative charge. C. Y has a positive charge. D. Z has a positive charge. E. Z is neutral (has no net charge).
