Atomic number is the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom of that element.

I think A is the right answer.

Answer is D.

Because,
Number of neutron = Atomic Weight-Atomic Number.
= 28-14=14.
and atomic Number= No.of Electron=No.of Proton.

Right @Shadan.

The amu of Silicon is 28, therefore, protons, electrons and neutrons are 14.
