Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation

the relative atomic mass of lithium = percentage abundance times the mass number of the first isotope + percentage abundance times the mass number of the second isotope.

the relative atomic mass of lithium = ( \(\frac{90}{100} \times7 + \frac{10}{100} \times 6\)) =(( 0.9 x 7) + (0.1 x 6)) = 6.3 + 0.6 = 6.9.
