In a conducting sphere, excess charge distributes itself on the outer surface due to mutual repulsion among like charges. This occurs because charges in a conductor move freely and arrange themselves to minimize repulsive forces, ensuring zero electric field inside the conductor. Answer: (d) On the outer surface of the sphere.
