The correct answer is C.

A substance is said to exhibit isotopy if the number of proton and neutron in the nucleus of the atom differs, whille the number of proton and electron are the same. Hydrogen has three isotopes and each of the isotopes has different number of neutron. Hydrogen 1 has no neutron but have 1 proton, hydrogen 2 has 1 neutron and 1 proton and hydrogen 3 has 1 proton and 2 neutrons.
