Solution

The correct option is B Atomic number
In Moseley Experiment, Moseley was able to show that the frequencies of certain characteristic X-rays emitted from chemical elements are proportional to the element's atomic number.So,The frequency of characteristic X-ray determines $A t o m i c N u m b e r$ of the target.
Therefore, B is correct option.
