The diagram shows the arrangement of three small uniformly charged spheres A, B and C. The arrows indicate the direction of the electrostatic forces acting between the spheres (for example, the left arrow on sphere A indicates the electrostatic force on sphere A due to sphere B). At least two of the spheres are positively charged. Which sphere, if any, could be negatively charged?
