The parent isotope is cobalt-59 (see the picture below).
The mass number is 59 and atomic number is 27 of the parent isotope.
Neutron activation is the process in which atomic nucleus capture free neutron or neutrons.
Cobalt-60 is produced in nuclear reactors in process of neutron activation from parent isotope cobalt-59 (see the picture below).
Atomic number (Z) is total number of protons and mass number (A) is total number of protons and neutrons in a nucleus.
Cobalt-59 and cobalt-60 are the isotopes of chemical element cobalt.
Isotopes are chemical elements with same atomic number (Z), but different mass number (different number of neutrons).

B) 40%
The balanced equation indicates that for every 3 moles of H2 used, 2 moles of NH3 will be produced. So the reaction if it had 100% yield would produce (2.00 / 3) * 2 = 1.333333333 moles of NH3. But only 0.54 moles were produced. So the percent yield is 0.54 / 1.3333 = 0.405 = 40.5%. This is a close enough match to option "b" to be considered correct.
