Answer:

In the context of nuclear decay or radioactivity, the type of radiation emitted by carbon would be beta particles. Carbon-14, a radioactive isotope of carbon, undergoes beta decay, which involves the emission of beta particles. Beta particles are high-energy electrons or positrons that are emitted from the nucleus during radioactive decay.
