Answer:

99.9% sure it B. Unstable but if that’s wrong try A.stable

Step-by-step explanation:

Too many protons (or too few neutrons) in the nucleus result in an imbalance between forces, which leads to nuclear instability.

if a nucleus is unstable due to too many neutrons, it will undergo Beta decay - this means they become stable by emitting a beta particle.
