What does it mean for nuclear decay to be spontaneous?
A
It occurs when the nucleus absorbs energy and is affected by physical/chemical conditions (e.g. temperature).
B
It occurs when triggered by nearby nuclei and is unaffected by physical/chemical conditions (e.g. temperature).
C
It occurs without any external trigger and is unaffected by physical/chemical conditions (e.g. temperature).
D
It occurs only when triggered by an external influence and is affected by physical/chemical conditions (e.g. temperature).
