Solution

(c) two extra neutrons and no extra electron

¹²C and ¹⁴C are the two isotopes of carbon atom that have same atomic number, but different mass numbers. This means that they have same number of protons and electrons, but different number of neutrons. Therefore, ¹²C has 6 protons, 6 electrons and 6 neutrons, whereas ¹⁴C has 6 electrons, 6 protons and 8 neutrons.
