Recall that the number of protons in an atom is equal to its atomic number, which uniquely identifies the element.
Identify the element given in the problem: lithium. Lithium's atomic number is 3.
Understand that a neutral atom has an equal number of protons and electrons, but the number of protons does not change regardless of charge.
Therefore, the number of protons in a neutral lithium atom is the same as its atomic number, which is 3.
Conclude that the correct answer is 3 protons for a neutral lithium atom.
