Solution

The correct option is A Parent Nucleus
Hey, you must have learned that a reaction is energetically favorable, that is, it is spontaneous only if the daughters (products) have lesser energy than the parents (reactants)! So, the same is the case with alpha decay, which is a spontaneous process.
