If $M_0$ is the mass of isotope ${ }_{5}^{12} B$,$M_p$ and $M_n$ are the masses of a proton and a neutron respectively,then the nuclear binding energy of the isotope is:

  • A
    $(5 M_p + 7 M_n - M_0) C^2$
  • B
    $(M_0 - 5 M_p) C^2$
  • C
    $(M_0 - 12 M_n) C^2$
  • D
    $(M_0 - 5 M_p - 7 M_n) C^2$
