The only true answer here is B. if you have a periodic table, you can see that Magnesium atomic number is 12 while Aluminium's is 13. this means Al has 1 more proton and weights more than magnesium since proton and neutrons contribute to the weights of the atoms.

Answer:

Option B. is correct

Explanation:

Vegetarianism is often cited as a partial solution to the growing problem of deforestation and other types of habitat destruction as the human population continues to grow. The reason for this is more people can be fed using less agricultural land because vegetarians eat at a lower trophic level.
