Solution

The correct option is B De-Broglie wavelength associated with electron decay is much greater than the size of the nucleus.
The de-Broglie wavelength of electron decay is several times greater than the size of nucleus. As a result an electron cannot be confined inside the nucleus. Thus answer for the question is option B.
