    The Options are as follow,

    a. it has 13 protons c. it has 13 neutrons

    b. it has 13 electrons d. it has 7 neutrons

    Answer:

    Option-d is the correct answer.

    Explanation:

    As we know that C-13 has a atomic mass of 13. Also, atomic mass is given as,

    Atomic Mass = # of Protons + # of Neutrons - - - (1)

    Since;

    Atomic Mass = 13

    And,

    # of protons = 6 (as number of protons = atomic number)

    Putting values in equation 1,

    13 = 6 - # of Neutrons

    Solving for Number of Neutrons,

    # of Neutrons = 13 - 6

    # of Neutrons = 7
