Elijah, Maya, and Daniel are having a heated debate. They're trying to figure out why elements above uranium are not found in nature. Can you help them settle this?

• Because they are too unstable and have to be made in a lab

• Because they are too reactive and quickly combine with other elements

• Because they are too heavy and sink to the Earth's core

• Because they are too rare and only exist in outer space
