I don't see the equation image, but for the common case (24/11Na undergoing β− decay) the completed equation is:

24/11 Na → 24/12 Mg + 0/−1 e− (plus an antineutrino 0/0 ν̄e)

So the likely matches are:
- A = 24/12 Mg (or simply Mg)
- B = 12 (the atomic number of Mg)
- C = 0/−1 e− (a beta particle / electron)

If your blanks are placed differently or you meant a different sodium isotope, please paste the equation or image and I’ll match them exactly.
