A photon.
Explanation: Photons (gamma/X-rays) and electrons (beta) are both low-LET, sparsely ionizing radiations and have similar ability to deposit energy in tissue (same radiation weighting factor ≈1). Photons transfer energy indirectly by producing secondary electrons, so the biological energy transfer is similar.
