Solution

The correct option is A radio-activity
We measure the intensity of radioactive emission by number of atoms that get transformed to new atoms per unit time.
Curie(Ci) is the standard unit used for measuring radio-activity.
Curie is defined as the emission rate of 1g of radium which is equal to $3.7 \times 10^{10}$ transformations per second.
