Answer 1

are you sure?

Answer 2

d) all of the above

Answer 3

I apologize for the confusion. The correct answer is b) β particle. A decay that involves a high-speed electron is referred to as β decay. α particles are helium nuclei and γ rays are high-energy photons, which are not directly associated with the emission of high-speed electrons.
