    Answer: Option C) The Atomic number is 13

    Explanation:

    The number of neutrons + Protrons = Atomic Mass

    Thus, 15 + Protrons = 28

    Protrons = 28 - 15 = 13

    Usually, the number of protons in an atom is always EQUAL to the Atomic number of the atom

    Since number of protons is 13, therefore the atomic number of the given atom is 13
