Correct Answer: Technetium


Solution : The correct option is Technetium.

The radioactive element with atomic number 43 in the modern periodic table is Technetium (Tc). All its isotopes are unstable, and their half-lives range from 4.2 million years to 5.0 seconds. Due to their short half-lives, technetium isotopes are not found naturally in significant amounts on Earth.
