The correct option is (D) Gamma (
_0^0\gamma )

Step-by-step explanation:
Now this question is a tricky one because all of these options are somehow involved in radioactive decay; however, in this case the SYMBOL is required NOT the elements. There are three symbols involved in radioactive decay, which are:
1. α for alpha decay
2. β for beta decay
3. γ for gamma decay

In the options only one symbol is present which is gamma. Hence option (D) Gamma (
_0^0\gamma ) is the correct answer.
