Answer:

146

Explanation:

The mass of uranium- 238  is  238  mass units. The total mass of an element is the sum of its protons and neutrons.  There are  92  protons in this isotope, and its mass is  238 , so that means that there are,  238 − 92 = 146  neutrons. Thus, as weird as it may seem, the answer must be D.
