Answer:

C. Natural abundance

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage of natural occurrence of an isotope of an element on the planet is the natural abundance or the geonormal abundance.

  • Proportions of each isotope of an element that occurs naturally is the natural abundance.
  • It is represented as a percentage value.
  • From the natural abundance, we can determine the relative atomic mass.
  • If we know the atomic mass of each of the isotope and their abundances, it is easy to determine their relative atomic masses.
