Answer:


(131)/(53) I

Step-by-step explanation:

A naturally occurring element is an element that is not produced in a nuclear reaction.

Most of the trans-uranium elements are not natural, they are all synthetic elements which are produced as a result of nuclear reactions. They are unknown in nature.

Apart from
(131)/(53) I, all other radioisotopes listed among the options are not natural elements.They are products of nuclear reactions.
