Missing parts
  1. Answer
    ligands
    Choices
    1. ligands
    2. counter ions
    3. electrons
  2. Answer
    electron pairs
    Choices
    1. electron pairs
    2. protons
    3. brackets
Complete the statement
The oxidation number of the central atom is the charge it would carry if all the {0} were removed, along with the {1} they share with it.
Your syllabus defines it as a thought experiment: strip the ligands and see what charge is left. Source: syllabus Chemistry Part I, Ch 5 Coordination Compounds.
