Solution
The correct option is A transmutation
The change in the nucleus to form a new nuclide from a parent nucleus is called Transmutation. Any element is defined by its number of protons and neutrons in its atoms, i.e. in the atomic nucleus, nuclear transmutation occurs in any process where this number is changed.A transmutation can be achieved either by nuclear reactions (in which an outside particle reacts with a nucleus) or by radioactive decay (where no outside particle is needed).
