the image shows information about the element carbon as it appears in the periodic table. based on the image, how many protons does carbon have?

Explanation:

A pluton is an intrusive igneous rock body that forms within Earth's crust. Option A describes extrusive igneous rock from surface - cooling lava. Option C is about igneous rock formation at ocean - floor vents. Option D describes metamorphic rock formation due to heat and pressure. For the carbon question, the atomic number (the number in the top left corner of the element box in the periodic table) represents the number of protons. For carbon, the atomic number is 6.

Answer:

1. B. A body of igneous rock that forms within Earth's crust
2. 6
