Solution

The correct option is D All of the above
D. All of the above
All three naturally- occurring isotopes of uranium ( U-238, U-235, U-234) are unstable. On the other hand, those isotopes ( except U-234) belong to primordial nuclides, because their half - life is comparable to the age of the Earth.
