Dr. Oken is testing you again. He wants to see if you know how the neutrons increase in quantity in relation to how the protons increase in quantity. Choose the best explanation to give him.

a The quantity of neutrons is proportional to the megatron. For everyone megatron there is a neutron trying to bring it up from the bottom of the Pacific Ocean
b The neutrons increase almost as quickly as the protons increase in number though there are often less neutrons than protons in the nucleus
c The neutrons increase in number faster than the protons increase
d The number of neutrons increases at the same exact rate as the protons increase in number. You add one proton and you get one neutron. This is true for the entire periodic table.
