Answer:

beryllium-10

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's remember what an isotope is

Isotopes are atoms of the same element, whose nucleus have a different amount of neutrons, and therefore, differ in mass number .

Since isotopes are atoms of the same element, the only option that corresponds to beryllium is the option beryllium-10
