'Density' is defined as (mass) / (volume). You need enough information to be able to measure or calculate the mass and the volume of the object.
The answer is C, has negative acceleration.

<span>Depends on the precision you're working to.
proton mass ~ 1.00728 amu
neutron mass ~ 1.00866 amu
electron mass ~ electron mass = 0.000549 amu
Binding mass is:
mass of constituents - mass of atom
Eg for nitrogen:
(7*1.00728)-(7*1.00866)-(7*0.000549)
-14.003074 = 0.11235amu
Binding energy is:
E=mc^2 where c is the speed of light. Nuclear physics is usually done in MeV[1] where 1 amu is about 931.5MeV/c^2. So:
0.11235 * 931.5 = 104.6MeV
Binding energy per nucleon is total energy divided by number of nucleons. 104.6/14 = 7.47MeV
This is probably about right; it sounds like the right size!
Do the same thing for D/E/F and recheck using your numbers & you shouldn't go far wrong :)
1 - have you done this? MeV is Mega electron Volts, where one electronVolt (or eV) is the change in potential energy by moving one electron up a 1 volt potential. ie energy = charge * potential, so 1eV is about 1.6x10^-19J (the same number as the charge of an electron but in Joules).
It's a measure of energy, but by E=mc^2 you can swap between energy and mass using the c^2 factor. Most nuclear physicists report mass in units of MeV/c^2 - so you know that its rest mass energy is that number in MeV.</span>
