It seems that you have missed the necessary options for us to answer this question, but anyway, here is the answer. If a radioactive element decays exponentially at a rate of 0.13% each hour, then the statement that is true is this: If there are 1,000 grams of the element, there will be 756.9 grams in two hours. Hope this helps.
