`M_p` denotes the mass of a proton and `M_n` that of a neutron. A given nucleus, of binding energy `B`, contains `Z` protons and `N` neutrons. The mass `M(N,Z)` of the nucleus is given by.

A

`M(N,Z) = NM_(n) +ZM_(p) - Bc^(2)`

B

`M(N,Z) = NM_(n) +ZM_(p) + Bc^(2)`

C

`M(N,Z) = NM_(n) +ZM_(p) - B//c^(2)`

D

`M(N,Z) = NM_(n) +ZM_(p) + B//c^(2)`
