The correct answer is:
$\left(M_O-8 M_p-9 M_n\right) c^2$
Binding energy
$\begin{aligned}
\mathrm{BE} & =\left(M_{\text {nucleus }}-M_{\text {nucleons }}\right) c^2 \\
& =\left(M_O-8 M_p-9 M_n\right) c^2
\end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned}
\mathrm{BE} & =\left(M_{\text {nucleus }}-M_{\text {nucleons }}\right) c^2 \\
& =\left(M_O-8 M_p-9 M_n\right) c^2
\end{aligned}$
