Answer : Positron emission or electron capture**

Explanation

These processes increase the neutron-to-proton ratio by converting a proton into a neutron and a positron (or an electron neutrino) or by capturing an electron from the inner shell of the atom and converting a proton into a neutron and an electron neutrino, respectively. This makes the nucleus more stable.
