Answer:

ieces A and B must also have the same type of charges

Explanation:

In electrostatics, charges of the same sign repel and charges of different signs attract.

If we apply this to our case, we have that part A and C repel each other, therefore they have the same type of charge.

Also part A and C repel each other, therefore they have the same type of charge.

If we use the transitive property of mathematics, pieces A and B must also have the same type of charges
