Answer:

C. gamma ray

(Photo for proof at the bottom.)

Step-by-step explanation:

A gamma ray is a type of radiation that occurs when an unstable nucleus emits a photon, the smallest unit of light. A photon has no mass or charge. Atomic and mass numbers are written based on the mass of the atom. But since no mass is lost when a photon is emitted, writing the emission of it isn't necessary.

Here's a photo of Edge, good luck.
