Answer : Option D)
Zn^(64)_(30)

Explanation : When a positron is getting absorbed it means it will be
e^(+1)_(0) so, the
Cu^(64)_(29) will get converted;

So, the whole reaction will be;


Cu^(64)_(29) +
e^(+1)_(0) ---->
Zn^(64)_(30).

This will convert the whole element of Cu will get changed into Zn. As, it absorbs by the positron, the atomic number gets increased from 29 to 30.
