Answer: D. an isotope.

Explanation:

Magnetic is a substance possessing an extraordinary power or ability to attract.

A Stereo isomer is each of one or more compounds which have the same molecular formula but have different three-dimensional orientations of their atoms in space.

Radioactive is a substance which is less stable and thus decomposes to a stable nuclei by releasing some radiations or particles like alpha, beta particles or gamma-radiations.

Isotopes are atoms of same element with same atomic number thus contain same number of protons but different mass number, thus contain different number of neutrons.
