Answer:

c. the Sun

Explanation:

Considering the description made in the question about the atom of a lead with atomic number 82, the place t his atom probably have NOT been during the course of its existence is the SUN

The reason is that SUN is believed to consist of ten significant elements, which are: Hydrogen, Helium, Oxygen, Carbon, Nitrogen, Silicon, Magnesium, Neon, Iron, and Sulfur.

Also, some of the properties of lead show that it won't have existed in the Sun before. For example, it is a poor transmission of heat. Also, it doesn't react with oxygen in the air and doesn't burn as well.
