Correct Answer - Option(B)

Explanation by: Vishal Gupta
The total number of nucleons is termed as mass number (A) of the atom. In this case, mass number is 80. Therefore, sum of the number of neutrons and protons is 80. As atomic number is 35, we know that number of protons is 35. Hence, number of neutrons = 80-35 = 45.
