WHAT IS A BALANCED CHARGE?

A balanced charge in an atom refers to an even or same amount of the positive and negative subatomic particles in the atom.

This further means that the number of protons (+) and electrons (-) in the atom will be equal for there to be a balanced charge.

Based on the image provided in this question, there are 6 electrons (-) in the atom, hence, 6 protons must be present to have a balanced charge in the atom.
