The correct answer is 53.

It would be neutral if they were both at 53, however, since there's 54 electron, then it becomes negatively electrified and becomes -1. You just delete one number from it and you'll see that it's 53.
In neutral elements , the number of protonsand number of electrons is same   element having  either a + charge, then the  number of protons are greater than the number of electrons.
. As for negative charge
 the element has a -1 charge,  which means there is  one  more electron  as compared to the number of protons. then conclusion is that number of protons
= 54-1=53 hope this helps
