Avogadro’s number was calculated by determining the number of atoms in

The mole was defined so that one mole contains the same number of atoms as there are in 12.00 g of carbon-12. Counting the atoms in that sample gives Avogadro’s number, about 6.022 × 10²³. Therefore, the correct choice is 12.00 g of carbon-12.
