The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Charge**: A negatively charged body indicates that it has more electrons than protons. Electrons carry a negative charge, while protons carry a positive charge. 2. **Defining Excess**: When we say a body is negatively charged, it means there is an excess of electrons. This excess is the reason for the negative charge. 3. **Comparing Electrons and Protons**: In a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons. However, in a negatively charged body, the number of electrons surpasses the number of protons. 4. **Filling in the Blank**: Therefore, we can conclude that a negatively charged body has an "excess" of electrons compared to the number of protons in the respective atom. 5. **Final Answer**: A negatively charged body has **excess** of electrons. ---
