Best Answer

The statement ‘electric charge of a body is quantized’ suggests that only integral (1, 2,3,4,...,n) number of electrons can be transferred from one body to another.

 This further suggests that charges are not transferred in fractions. Hence, a body possesses its total charge only in integral multiples of electric charges.
