Answer:


\boxed{\bf B.\: 2x-31=-2x-31}

Explanation:


\boxed{\bf A.\: 2x-31=2x-31}


\tt 2x-31=2x-31

Since both sides are equal, there're infinitely many solutions.

___________________


\boxed{\bf B.\: 2x-31=-2x-31}


\tt 2x-31=-2x-31


\tt 2x=-2x


\tt 4x=0


\tt \cfrac{4x}{4}=\cfrac{0}{4}


\tt x=0

One solution.

___________________


\boxed{\bf C.\;2x+31=2x-31}


\tt 2x+31=2x-31


\tt 2x+31-2x=2x-31-2x


\tt 31=-31

Sides are not equal, meaning there is no solution.

___________________


\boxed{\bf D.\;2x-2=2x-31}


\tt 2x-2=2x-31


\tt 2x-2-2x=2x-31-2x


\tt -2=-31

The sides are not equal, there's no solution.

Therefore, the only option is B.
