(C) Radioactive decay follows first-order kinetics: $N_t = N_0 \times (1/2)^{t/t_{1/2}}$.Given: $N_0 = 1 \, \mu g$,$t_{1/2} = 30 \ years$,$t = 100 \ years$.$N_t = 1 \times (1/2)^{100/30} = (1/2)^{10/3}$.Taking $\log$ on both sides: $\log N_t = \frac{10}{3} \log(0.5) = \frac{10}{3} \times (-0.30) = -1$.$N_t = 10^{-1} \, \mu g$.Comparing with $n \times 10^{-1} \, \mu g$,we get $n = 1$.
