Answer:

Hey!

Your answer is element A

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the graph, the element A's emission of radioactive particles ends approximately after 6 years...

A HALF-LIFE IS "HALF" OF THAT TIME PERIOD!

So if the radiation goes for 6 years the half-life is 6 divided by two which gives you 3 years!

The rest however have a longer half-life...

Because they all end at 14 yrs so their half-life in 7 years!

HOPE THIS HELPS!!
