Solution

The correct option is B False
Answer is B.

We can say that objects that are charged contain unequal numbers of protons and electrons. Charged objects have an imbalance of charge - either more negative electrons than positive protons or vice versa. And neutral objects have a balance of charge - equal numbers of protons and electrons.
Therefore, when electrons are removed, the object obtains positive charge and the statement is false.
