Answer: C. They emit radiation as they decay.

Explanation:

The radioactive isotopes are the elements that exhibit unstable and heavy nuclei. The isotopes disintegrate or decay by fission to form entities that exhibit stable nuclei. The radioactive elements are the parent atoms which disintegrate into daughter products and subatomic particles. This disintegration process liberates a lot of energy in the form of radiation like gamma rays. Hence, the type of radiation emitted by the disintegration or decay process of the radioactive isotopes can be useful to detect their elemental type and their origin.

TMV is not an additional hazard for smokers because the humans are not within the range of hosts of the TMV virus and so the humans cannot be infected. The Tobacco Mosaic Virus is actually a single stranded RNA virus that infects a wide variety of plants and especially the tobacco plants. The main signal is the discoloration of the leaves of the plants.
