Option B) 63.55 amu

Explanation:To find the average atomic weight of the two isotopes of copper that exist in nature we can use the below formula;

Average atomic mass = ∑ (isotope(s) x abundance)

Therefore, we have the given values of atomic masses of two copper isotopes are 62.93 u and 64.93 u, respectively. They have natural abundance as 0.692 and 0.368, respectively,

On substituting the above values, we get,

Average atomic mass = (62.93 x 0.692) isotope 1 of Cu + (64.93 x 0.308) isotope 2 of Cu

Average atomic mass = 43.54 + 19.99 = 63.538 ~ 63.55

Therefore, the average atomic mass of Cu will be 63.55 amu.

you need to have a picture of the atom that way we can answer it
