Answer:

Option A.

The amount of atomic particles released by a radioactive material in a specific time is  determined by strong and weak nuclear forces.

Explanation:

  • The atomic particles released by a radioactive material in a specific time is based upon the rate of decay of the radioactive material.
  • The rate of decaying radioactive materials in a specific time is determined by the weak nuclear forces that is existent between the nucleons of the atomic particles.
  • Therefore, the total amount of atomic particles that are freed by a radioactive material in a specific time is given by the nuclear forces (strong or weak).
