It will take 5.2 years to decay.
The half life of cobalt-60 is 5.2 years. The half life is the time taken for the mass of the substance to decrease by a half.
here, the amount of remaining substance is 50%,
so, 
n. log (0.5) = log (0.5)
n = 1
So it would take 1 half lives to decay this much, which is 1 x 5.2 which is 5.2 years.
what do you mean by radioactive decay ?
The process through which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy via radiation is known as radioactive decay, also known as nuclear decay, radioactivity, radioactive disintegration, or nuclear disintegration. A material that has unstable nuclei is considered as radioactive.

There are two kinds of analysis: qualitative and quantitative
In quantitative we analyse the amount of something that is how much of something is present / the quantity. Ex: the length of branch of tree, number of students in class, volume of a liquid in a beaker.
In qualitative analysis we determine the kind of substance / quality of substance / nature of substance.
like: colour of a substance, odor of a substance or taste (bitter / sour / sweet etc) of a substance
So answer is : B.The substance tastes bitter
This is seen in the first law of Thermodynamics stating that matter and energy cannot be destroyed nor created.
