Answer

The charge quantum number of the anitneutron is $0$

Work Step by Step

The $\pi^+$ has charge $+1$ The proton $p$ has charge $+1$ Let $q$ be the charge of the antineutron $\bar{n}$ Then according to the charge conservation law: $(+1)+(+1) = (+1)+(+1)+q$ $q = 0$ The charge quantum number of the anitneutron is $0$.
