The answer is six, The reason why is that it is not much different from an atom with protons.

As we can see in the given figure there are four spheres of blue color which are having + sign

They represents protons inside the nucleus

And the other red spheres have no sign so these are the neutral one which we say as neutrons

SO here in this figure the atom must have 6 neutrons

so correct answer will be

N = 6
