    B. one that has an unstable nucleus

    Step-by-step explanation:

    In radioactive decay, an atom nuclei breakdown generating new nucleus with lower atomic mass, and releasing energy. This happens to those atoms with a high number of protons (and the same number of electrons) and an even higher number of neutrons which cannot hold the nucleus together. The process finishes when stable nucleus are reached.
