Nuclei of different elements can have the same number of neutrons.

(A) The correct statement is that nuclei of different elements can have the same number of neutrons. These are known as isotones.For example,consider $_4Be^9$ and $_5B^{10}$.For $_4Be^9$: Number of neutrons $N = A - Z = 9 - 4 = 5$.For $_5B^{10}$: Number of neutrons $N = A - Z = 10 - 5 = 5$.Since both have $5$ neutrons,they are isotones.
