Answer:

B. 20, 22, 20

Explanation:

The atomic number (Z) of calcium is 20, that is, it has 20 protons.

The mass number (A) of calcium-42 is 42. The mass number is equal to the sum of protons and neutrons. Then,

p⁺ + n⁰ = 42

n⁰ = 42 - p⁺

n⁰ = 42 - 20

n⁰ = 22

Since calcium is electrically neutral, it has the same number of protons (+) and electrons (-). Then, calcium has 20 electrons.
