Statement A is true, because atom of each element emits characteristics spectrum. Statement B is true,

   According to Bohr’s postulates, mvr=nh2π and due to this reason, the electron resides into orbits of specific radius called stationary orbits.

Statement C is false, because density of nucleus is constant.

Statement D is false because a free neutron is unstable which decays into proton, electron and anti-neutrino.

Statement E is true because unstable nucleus shows radioactivity. So, we can say that radioactivity is the instability of nuclei.
