Answer : Option D) No charge

Explanation : An isotope undergoes radioactive decay by emitting radiation that has no mass. The radiation will not have any charge as it does not has any mass it will not emit a radiative charge.

It is known that there are some unstable radioactive isotopes which has no mass and the radiation thus has no charge in it.
