Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Nucleus of an atom consists of protons and neutrons. Protons are positively charged and neutrons have no charge. So, due to the like charges of protons there occurs electrostatic force of repulsion inside the nucleus of the atom.
But due to similar number of neutrons and protons a force that is able to bind both of them together is known as strong nuclear binding energy.
This force is strong enough that it is able to overcome electrostatic force of repulsion. But when there is great difference in the number of protons and neutrons then binding force is not strong enough.
Hence, the atom becomes unstable and undergoes radioactive decay. So, this means weak forces are responsible for radioactive decay.
Thus, we can conclude that the statement which best describes Yanni’s error is that the strong force is responsible for radioactive decay.

We presented with several statements after the question. Only one of these statements are correct.
DNA replication is the process in which a single strand of DNA, acting as the parent strand, forms two new strands of DNA. DNA transcription is the process of copying the information of the DNA strand and delivering this information into a strand of mRNA. These processes may sound similar, but there are key differences. We must look at the building blocks of DNA and RNA. Both structures are composed of four different bases, however, only three of these bases are shared between structures and they each have a unique fourth base. In DNA, the fourth base is thymine and it is uracil in RNA. We already established that DNA replication forms new strands of DNA, which would use thymine by default. DNA transcription results in formation of mRNA which would therefore use uracil.
The correct statement from the choices provided is the following:
Thymine is used in replication while uracil is used in transcription.
