Atoms of elements below atomic number 20 do not split because of stable nucleus.
Stability of nucleus is determined by neutron/proton ratio.
For light stable nuclides, number of protons ans neutrons are same. For heavy nuclides, number of neutrons is more than the number of protons.
Here the type of decay is alpha decay because number of nucleons(protons and neutrons) changes.
Hence option d is correct.

Answer is (D) - It is exothermic and will have a negative enthalpy.
If the reactants are at a higher potential energy compared to the products, it means reactants have more energy than the products. That energy is released to the environment as heat. Due to the releasing of heat to the surrounding, the reaction is exothermic. Since the reaction is exothermic; the enthalpy of the reaction will be negative value.
