Answer:

Beta radiation

Step-by-step explanation:

Beta radiation is a radioactive phenomenon of nuclear decay in which an unstable atom or isotop, by transforming a neutron into a proton, or by transforming a proton into a neutron, becomes stable. For example, the decay of carbon 14 produces beta radiation.
