Final answer:

Bowling pins are knocked down in a perfect game?

B. 100.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a perfect game of bowling, a player bowls 12 frames. In each frame, they have the opportunity to knock down all ten pins.

As such, the total number of pins knocked down in a perfect game can be calculated by multiplying the number of frames by the number of pins per frame. Therefore, 12 frames * 10 pins per frame = 120 total pins.

However, in the final frame, if a player achieves a strike or a spare, they are awarded additional bonus throws, contributing to an extra 20 pins in total. Subtracting these extra pins (2 additional throws * 10 pins each) from the initial total, we get 120 total pins - 20 extra pins = 100 pins knocked down in a perfect game.
