Solution

The correct option is B parent nucleus
A reaction is spontanenous and one-way only if the daughter nucleus(products) have less energy than the parent nucleus(reactants). So, in the process of alpha decay, the parent nucleus should be at higher energy level for it to happen without a reversible case.
