Answer:

The answer would be C. Number of protons in the atom.

Step-by-step explanation:

On the periodic table, you see the element, with a big number at top, and a small number below the element name/abbreviation.

The big number is the amount of protons of the atom, which define each atom. The smaller number represents the atomic mass of the atom.
