Solution

Explanation:
Additive Inverse: An additive inverse of a number is another number, which gives zero, when added to the original number.
For example: If $2$ is the original number then $- 2$ will be its additive inverse as $2 + (- 2) = 0$
Therefore, we can say that $(-a)$ is the Additive inverse of $a$ as $a+(-a)=0$ .
Hence, the answer is $a$ .
