To demonstrate early atomic conceptions at an intergalactic science academy, an instructor fabricates an energy sphere called the "Thomsonian Bubble." Inside this demonstration, discrete units of negative electric charge are held directly within a continuous, diffuse cloud of positive charge that occupies the entire spherical volume. If the device strictly obeys J.J. Thomson's atomic model, which fundamental characteristic must this construct display?

A) A tiny, highly concentrated positive core at the center that deflects passing energetic particles.

B) An overall electrically neutral sphere where the continuous positive charge balances the total charge of the embedded corpuscles.

C) Discrete circular orbital pathways along which negative particles revolve through largely empty space.

D) An empty spherical interior housing almost all atomic mass solely at the geometric center.
