    Oxygen has an atomic number of 8,

    Then, it has eight electrons revolving round its nucleus.

    And since it a neutral atoms.

    Number of neutron ≈ number of electron

    Number of proton = Number of electron.

    Then, the number of proton is 8

    So, we can find it mass number of molecular weight

    Molecular weight = number of proton + number of neutron

    Molecular weight = 8 + 8

    Molecular weight = 16g/mol

    So, the correct answer is D

    An atom of oxygen has 8 protons.
