Answer:

A. 206 82Pb.

B. 214 82Pb.

C. 210 82Pb.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram given in question above, we can see that the parent nucleus is undergoing alpha decay.

This implies that the daughter nuclei obtained will have a decrease of 4 in the mass number and a decrease of 2 in the atomic number.

Please see attached photo on how to solve the question.
