Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let suppose element \(X \Rightarrow\) \({X_{\left( g \right)}}\xrightarrow[{800}]{{I{E_1}}}X\mathop {\left( g \right)}\limits^ + \xrightarrow[{2427}]{{I{E_2}}}X(\mathop {g)}\limits^{ + 2} \xrightarrow[{3658}]{{I{E_3}}}\)…
