Answer 1

Beta particles

Step-by-step explanation:

A beta emission is said to occur when a neutron is converted into a proton. When a beta emission takes place, the daughter nucleus increases it's atomic number by 1. A neutrino is also produced.

Since the mass number remain the same but the daughter nucleus has it's atomic number increased by 1, then the particle is a beta particle.
