The function which has a constant halving time is in the following form


A(t) = A_(0) ( (1)/(2) )^ (t)/(h)
Where: A₀ is the initial amount
h is the half life time or the halving time.
t is the time
A(t) the amount that remains at time t

The previous function represents an Exponential decay function.


so, The correct answer is option B. Exponential decay
