C Correct answer
Explanation

The text states the rate of radioactive disintegration "cannot be ____ or slowed down by any known method." The answer is "speeded up" - making it faster. "Moved" and "explained" don't fit the context of altering a rate. "Changed" is too vague; the sentence specifically discusses accelerating the rate.
