Answer:

B (buoyant force) = weight of air displaced - weight of balloon

Both balloons will displace the same amount of air but the weight of the balloon filled with He is much less and will experience a greater buoyant force - actually if a balloon is filled with air its weight would be the same as the weight of the air displaced and there would be no buoyant force
