  2. B Electron
  3. C Positron
  4. D Neutrino
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Positron

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Balance atomic number (Z): \( 11 = 10 + 0 + Z_X \implies Z_X = 1 \) Balance mass number (A): \( 22 = 22 + 0 + A_X \implies A_X = 0 \) Particle X is a positron (\( {}_{1}^{0}e^+ \)).
