The answer should be D.)The decay rate does not change
<span>A radioisotope is not stable and will undergo a nuclear decay that will continually decrease its mass. Unlike a chemical reaction, the </span>rate of nuclear decay is not influenced by the temperature of the surface area. So, increases in surface area and decreased temperature will not have any effect.
