Sulphur is found in 23 isotopes ranging from 27 to 49.

Also, magnitude of average atomic mass is more toward the isotope which is the most abundant.

Now , molecular mass of Sulphur is 32.06 u . It means the most abundant isotopes of Sulphur is 32.

It can also be verified by the fact that 95 % of natural occurring sulfur is $^{32}S$ .

Hence, this is the required solution.
