#B# is incorrect....

Explanation:

Oxygen, as are most of the elemental gases, is binuclear, i.e. we speak of the dioxygen molecule, #O_2#. Given a mole of oxygen gas, i.e. dioxygen gas, we got a mass of..............

#1*molxx32.0*g*mol^-1=32.0*g#.

The mass of a #"mole of oxygen atoms"# is #16.0*g#.
