Answer is: krypton-84.

Isotopes are chemical elements with same atomic number, but different atomic mass (different number of neutrons).
The average atomic mass of krypton =
= ω(⁸²Kr) · Ar(⁸²Kr) + ω(⁸³Kr)·Ar(⁸³Kr) + ω(⁸⁴Kr) · Ar(⁸⁴Kr) + ω(⁸⁵Kr)· Ar(⁸⁵Kr).
ω(Kr) is average abundance of isotopes of krypton.
Ar(Kr) is atomic mass of krypton isotope.
Average atomic mass of krypton is closest to Kr-84.
