Solution

The correct option is A C-12 isotope
The relative atomic mass of an element is the ratio of the average mass of atoms of the element to one-twelfth of the mass of a carbon-12 atom.
Relative atomic mass =
$\frac{A v e r a g e m a s s o f a t o m s o f t h e e l e m e n t}{\frac{1}{12} t h o f t h e m a s s o f o n e C - 12 a t o m}$
