Definitely FALSE.
If number of protons is different from number of electrons the atom is no longer an atom it is an ion.
In an atom #e+ = #e-

The atom structure forms an electroatatic Gravity energy bond between the electron and the proton which is coined by Phyiscs as a charge.
The stability of the atom depends how the charges within the atom are balanced.
In A stable atom the Charge between the protons and electrons are balanced. In that sense the answer is false.
If the Charges are not Balanced the Atom becomes unstable; This is what is called an ionized atom.In that sense the answer is true.
The question that was posed did not give much of a choice,since it was not explicit.

In a stable atom the number of electrons always equal the number of protons.

False. The number of protons (Z) = the numbers of elecrons
in a neutral atom.

Depends. In a ione the electrons can be more or less, depend on the charge of the atom, in his complex.
A neutre atom have the same number of protons and electrons

can both be true/false. that would dictate the elctrical neutrality of the atom.

That would be false.
However for a positive ion (cation) it would be true
