To determine the number of moles of each reactant in the reaction between lead (II) nitrate (Pb(NO₃)₂) and potassium iodide (KI), we need to look at the balanced chemical equation:

\[ \text{Pb(NO}_3)_2 + 2 \text{KI} \rightarrow 2 \text{KNO}_3 + \text{PbI}_2 \]

In this balanced equation, we can see that:

- 1 mole of lead (II) nitrate (Pb(NO₃)₂) reacts with 2 moles of potassium iodide (KI).

Based on this, the correct response would be:

**1 mole of lead (II) nitrate and 2 moles of potassium iodide.**
