The correct response is:

**It becomes more stable by emitting energy and particles.**

Gamma decay involves the emission of gamma radiation (high-energy photons) from an unstable nucleus, which helps the nucleus to achieve a more stable state by releasing excess energy without changing the number of protons or neutrons.
