Answer:

B. An equation that shows only those particles involved in the reaction, and that is balanced for both mass and charge

Step-by-step explanation:

A net ionic equation is a chemical equation that will only show the elements, compounds, and ions that are directly involved in the chemical reaction. It comes from the balanced molecular equation and should be balanced by both mass and charge.
