Answer:
A quarter of the sample.
Explanation:
Let the quantity at the beginning be T. If the element has a half-life of 1,000 years, it means that after 1000 years, T/2 (which represents half the initial quantity available) would have decayed, remaining T/2.
After another 1000 years (making 2000 years), T/4 (which represents have of the quantity left after the first 1000 years) would have decayed, remaining T/4.
This means that only a quarter of T would be left after 2000 years.

Answer:
Option D, Gastric Juices
Explanation:
The second line of defense is a non specific defense mechanism in which no specific individual is targeted but all invaders are killed in general way. Some common mode of second line of defense are - Phagocytic cells (white blood cells), inflammatory responses, macrophage system etc. The second line of defense comes into action when the invader has surpassed the first line of defense which include either physical barrier like skin, mucous membrane, hair, cilia etc. or chemical barriers like gastric juices, saliva, Hyaluronic acid etc.
Hence, gastric juice does not belong to second line of defense.
Thus, option D is correct.
