the electron emitted in beta radiation originates from

The electron emitted in beta radiation originates from

A. inner orbits of atoms

B. free electrons existing in nuclei

C. decay of a neutron in a nucleus

D. photon escaping from the nucleus

Answer : decay of a neutron in a nucleus

Solution :
Note : In a nucleus neutron converts into proton as follows
$$n \to {p^ + } + {e^{ - 1}}$$
Thus, decay of neutron is responsible for $$\beta $$-radiation is carbon atom. origination
