Answer:


_(84)^(208)Po

B is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation


_(86)^(212)Rn\rightarrow_(2)^(4)He

According to alpha emission

Alpha emission is a radioactive decay in which the atomic nucleus emit the alpha particle and formed a new nucleus whose mass number reduced by four and atomic number reduced by two.

Therefore,

Po is the new nucleus.


_(86)^(212)Rn\rightarrow_(2)^(4)He+_(84)^(208)Po

Where, Rn = Radon

Po= polonium
