Answer:

A : 25

Explanation:

In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. The atomic number indicates the number of protons.

The mass number is the sum of the number of neutrons and the number of protons.

mass number=protons+neutrons

As we know from the atomic number, the number of neutrons is 14 and the number of electrons is 11.

mass number = 14 + 11
