As we have learnt,

Hydrogen has 3 isotopes. And these isotopes differ from each other because of presence of different number of neutrons.

  1. Protium, ^{1}_{1}H
  2. Deuterium, ^{2}_{1}H or D
  3. Tritium, ^{3}_{1}H or T

Number of neutrons in Protium is 0.
Number of neutrons in Deuterium is 1.
Number of neutrons in Tritium is 2.

Thus, the correct answer is 0+1+2=3

Therefore, Option(2) is correct.
