Solution

The correct option is B 12.011 u
Average atomic mass is the weighted average of atomic mass of all the isotopes.

Contribution by each isotope = Relative abundance $\times$ Atomic mass

Contribution by
$_{6}^{12} C$ = (0.98892)(12)/100 = 11.86704
$_{6}^{13} C$ = (0.01108)(13.00335)/100 = 0.14407712

$_{6}^{14} C$ = (2 $\times$ $10^{- 10}$ )(14.003170/100 = 28.00634 $\times$ $10^{- 12}$

$∴$ Average atomic mass = sum of all contribution = 12.011 u
