Solution

The number of neutrons in an atom can be found by subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass number. For iodine-127:

  1. The atomic number of iodine (I) is 53, which represents the number of protons.
  2. The atomic mass number is 127 (as given in the question "iodine-127").

So, to find the number of neutrons, you subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass number: 127 - 53 = 74.

Therefore, the answer is D. 74.
