b) False

Pierre and Marie Curie's research focused on the discovery of radioactivity and the isolation of radioactive elements like radium and polonium. While they made significant contributions to our understanding of radioactivity, they did not specifically discover that radioactive decay produces heat. The connection between radioactive decay and heat generation was further explored by later scientists..

Hope you understand^^
