C

Moles of Mg = 2/24 =1/12

12 neutrons in each Mg atom

Therefore there are 12 x 1/12 moles of neutrons = 1 mole of neutrons

It will be the one where the two ions have the greatest difference in electronegativity. Fluorine is the most electronegative element so it will be A or C, but I'm not sure which of Cs or K is less electronegative.
