Answer:

B - Person A's chair rolls backwards.

Explanation:

This can be seen simply through the Conservation of Momentum. When the ball is thrown to be, the ball's momentum(+m) is transfererd to B, so B's chair moves forward(think about it - it makes sense, doesn't it?), meaning A's chair moves backwards.

So, B.
