When the negatively charged rod touches the neutral metal sphere, the excess electrons on the rod will move to the sphere. This is because like charges repel and the negatively charged rod has excess electrons that will repel each other.
Therefore, the correct response is:
**The excess electrons will move from the rod to the sphere and spread out.**
Therefore, the correct response is:
**The excess electrons will move from the rod to the sphere and spread out.**
