Final answer:

The electrostatic force remains unchanged if the number of neutrons increases.

Step-by-step explanation:

The electrostatic force between charged particles is determined by the charges and the distance between them. Neutrons have no charge, so they do not directly contribute to the electrostatic force. Therefore, the change in the number of neutrons will not affect the electrostatic force. The correct answer is c) Remains unchanged.
