The correct answer is b. Radon. Oxygen, Hyrdrogen, and Boron, are not radioactivel ike Radon and it regenerates quickly meaning that even though it has a short half-life period, it stays for a long time once released. It also has no taste so it's difficult to notice without proper gear because you can't feel it.
