Consider a radioactive material of half-life

1.0\,\,minute

. If one of the nuclei decays now, the next one will decay

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

After any time

Option D is correct because radioactive decay is a random process, and the decay of one nucleus does not influence the decay of another. Therefore, the next nucleus can decay at any time.
