Answer:

The correct answer is option A-"They release energy".

Explanation:

The phenomenon of radioactive decay, also known as radioactivity or nuclear radiation, occurs when an unstable atomic nucleus emits radiation and loses energy and mass in the process. The elements during radioactive decay release energy and mass trying to reach a stable form. The material that has the unstable nucleus is considered radioactive.
