The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Mass to Charge Ratio: The mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) is calculated by dividing the mass of an ion (in Daltons) by its charge. Given the molecular weight of the protein ion = 10,000 Daltons and the charge of the protein ion = 5+, the mass-to-charge ratio = (10,000 Daltons)/5 = 2000.
