Answer:

D

Explanation:

The substances are the exact same!

The half life should be the same too :)

A half life is how long it takes for a substance to break down and leave your system.

So for 20 grams, it goes away in 232 seconds, but for 80 grams, which is 4 times the amount, you would also multiply the half life by 4

I hope this is correct!
