  A) If helium were a product of radioactive decay, we would all be radioactive. Agree with the friend that says no way.
  B) Radioactive decay produces alpha particles, not helium. Agree with the friend that says no way.
  C) Your first friend is correct. Radioactive isotopes emit alpha particles which, in turn, capture electrons and become helium atoms.
  D) Helium is an element of the periodic table, not some product of any reaction. Agree with the friend that says no way.
