Solution
The correct option is B lead
In the periodic table of elements, almost all the isotopes of the elements with atomic number greater than 82 i.e. after the element lead (Pb), are highly unstable and hence, are radioactive in nature. This is due to the fact that they all have large number of neutrons in their nuclei than protons.
