A Correct answer
Explanation

Isotopes are atoms of the same element (same number of protons) that have different numbers of neutrons, resulting in different atomic masses. Carbon-12 and Carbon-14 are classic examples. 'Isotropes' (B), 'Isolates' (C), and 'Isomates' (D) are not valid scientific terms.
