The mass closest to the mass of carbon is 12.00 amu

This is because carbon is used as a standard compound in chemistry, and its mass is defined as being 12.00 amu per mole of carbon. Its definition as a standard is such that the mole is defined as, "the amount of substance containing the same number of atoms as 12 grams of carbon-12".
