  2. B proton
  3. C Photon
  4. D Neutron
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Neutron

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\({ }_4^9 \mathrm{Be}+{ }_2^4 \mathrm{He} \rightarrow{ }_6^{12} \mathrm{C}+{ }_0^1 \mathrm{X}\) Hence X represents neutron \(\left({ }_0^1 n\right)\)
