The correct answer is: nCnA+nB+nC

Mole fraction is defined as the amount (number of moles or molecules) of a constituent or component divided by the total amount of all the constituent or component present. 

Mole fraction=Number of moles of compnentTotal number of moles of all the components
Suppose we have a mixture with 3 components A, B and C.

Mole fraction of C=nCnA+nB+nC

Hence, the answer is option B.
