The answer to your question would be A; it has more electrons than protons

When trying to identify negatively or positively charged objects, you have to think about the charges of the sub-atomic particles, in this case the protons, electrons and neutrons.

Electrons= negative overall charge

Protons= positive overall charge

Neutrons=neutral overall charge

therefore, if an object is negatively charged, it has to have more electrons than any other sub-atomic particle and hence the answer is A.
