(A) All containers will have 5000 atoms
(B) All the containers will contain the same number of atoms but that number will only be approximately 5000.
(C) The containers will in general have different numbers of the atoms but their average will be close to 5000.
(D) None of the containers can have more than 5000 atoms.
