Final answer:

Temperature in a cooling object decreases in a manner similar to radioactive decay.

Step-by-step explanation:

An example of something that decreases in a manner similar to radioactive decay is b) Temperature in a cooling object. When an object cools down, its temperature decreases exponentially over time, similar to how the activity of a radioactive substance decreases exponentially with time.
