Vedclass · Answer

(D) Radioactive decay is a nuclear process that depends solely on the nature of the nucleus itself.It is independent of external physical factors such as temperature,pressure,or chemical environment.Since the rate of disintegration is determined by the decay constant $\lambda$ and the number of radioactive nuclei $N$ (given by $R = \lambda N$),and $\lambda$ is a constant characteristic of the specific radioactive isotope,it cannot be altered by external conditions.Therefore,it is not possible to increase the rate of disintegration of a fixed quantity of a radioactive element by any external means.

The rate of disintegration of a fixed quantity of a radioactive element can be increased by
