Understand that the problem asks for the mass of a proton, which is a fundamental particle in chemistry and physics.
Recall that the mass of a proton is a well-known constant and is approximately \(1.67 \times 10^{-27}\) kilograms.
Compare the given options to this known value to determine which is closest.
Note that \(1.00 \times 10^{-24}\) kg is three orders of magnitude larger than the proton mass, \(9.11 \times 10^{-31}\) kg is much smaller (close to electron mass), and \(4.18 \times 10^{-23}\) kg is even larger.
Conclude that the value closest to the proton mass is \(1.67 \times 10^{-27}\) kg.
