Solution

The correct option is B
Isotone

We call these as isotones.

Two nuclides are isotones if they have the same neutron number N, but different proton number Z. Where Z is the atomic number and N as neutron.

These are witnessed when two or more atoms have an equal number of neutrons but different atomic numbers.
