Correct Answer
D
Explanation
in beta decay, the atomic number is increased by one unit and mass number remains unchanged.
When an atom undergoes beta decay, the atomic number of the nucleus changes. In beta decay, a neutron in the nucleus is converted into a proton, resulting in an increase in the atomic number by one. This means that the atom transforms into a different element with a higher atomic number.
