Answer:

Copper-63

Explanation:

Since atomic masses are averages of a certain element's mass from all of its isotopes, the average of the atomic mass will be closest to the most abundant isotope. Knowing that the mass of copper-63 is 63 amu and the average atomic mass of copper is 63.546, its most abundant isotope must be copper-63
