Atomic mass increases as the atomic number increases, this is because that atomic number repersent the amount of protons in the atomic,

out of these 4 choices
F(9)

Be(4)

Al(13)

The atomic mass is usually more than double of the atomic number, Therefore you can confirmed that argon has the highest atomic mass out of the 4 given options
