In the picture attached to this question, the two diagrams above did not show very well but I believe that the first diagram contain four dots, which means that the correct option is A.
Carbon has six electrons, that is why 6 is its atomic number is 6 . In writing electronic configuration, two electrons are usually placed in the most inner shell while the other shells will have 8 electrons each. In the case of carbon which has 6 electrons, only four will remain after 2 electron has been put in its inner shell. Therefore the number of electron in its outermost shell will be four.

beks73 [17]
These profiles provide direct information about nucleotide sequences.  DNA fingerprinting or DNA profiling is a method of isolating and identifying variable elements within the base pair sequence of DNA. DNA profiling relies on microsatellites rather than the minisatellites used in DNA fingerprinting. Microsatellites, or short tandem repeats (STRs), are the shorter relatives of minisatellites usually two to five base pairs long.
