Answer:

The correct answer is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Protons are much larger than electrons, having 1836 times their mass. Atoms aren't living organisms; all matter, organic and non-organic, is made of atoms. The correct answer is the last one: the number of protons in an atom is known as the atomic number, which determines the chemical element of an atom.
