When a negatively charged plastic rod touches a rubber ball, the excess negative charges (electrons) from the rod are transferred to the ball. This process typically results in the negative charges being evenly distributed across the surface of the ball due to repulsion between like charges.
Therefore, the correct response is:
Evenly distributed on the ball’s surface
