Answer:

c.

0.1824

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the decay factor is as follows;

= (1 - decrease percentage) × (1 - decrease percentage) × (1 - decrease percentage)

= (1 - 0.2) × (1 - 0.4) × (1 - 0.62)

= (0.8) × (0.6) × (0.38)

= 0.1824

hence, the decay factor is 0.1824

Therefore the option c is correct
