It seems like you're trying to complete a statement about nuclear physics, particularly regarding the relative abundance of certain elements and how that relates to their nuclear structure. Based on the options you've given, the most relevant completion to the statement "the fact that the relative abundance is greater for elements in which the total number of protons and neutrons is a multiple of two is because..." is:
**"the combination of two protons and two neutrons is very stable."**
This is because stable nuclei tend to have even numbers of both protons and neutrons, which is associated with the pairing effect in nuclear physics. In general, elements with an even number of protons and neutrons tend to be more stable and thus more abundant compared to those with odd numbers.
**"the combination of two protons and two neutrons is very stable."**
