Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

When the `n//p` ratio is more than 1, then nuclei is unstable but when it is 1, then nuclei is stable. In `._(13)Al^(30),n//p=17//13=1.3(i.e.,` more than 1 , so less stable `)`, but in `._(20)Ca^(40), n//p1( ` more stable `)`
Nuclei with odd number of protons and neutrons are generally unstable.
