How many pilgrims are mentioned in the "prologue" besides chaucer? 12 24 29 30?

Besides Chaucer, there are other 29 pilgrims mentioned.

Explanation:

In the General Prologue, some 30 pilgrims are introduced. According to the Prologue, Chaucer's intention was to write four stories from the perspective of each pilgrim, two each on the way to and from their ultimate destination, St. Thomas Becket's shrine (making for a total of about 120 stories).

Thus, there are 30 total pilgrims who make the journey to Canterbury. 29 pilgrims, and Chaucer, the narrator, makes 30. Chaucer died before he finished writing the stories all the pilgrims were to tell. The plan was one on the way and one on the way back.

Many pilgrims used to meet together in London. The Canterbury Tales tells of the meeting of a group at an inn in Southwark, which was a village south of the Thames River and now making up part of London. This was a good place to meet because people from the north could cross the Thames River by London Bridge.

i would say your answer would be the second option.

hope this !
