Question

An excited heavy nucleus ZAX{}_{Z}^{A}\mathrm{X} emits radiations in the following sequence: ZAXZ2A4D1Z1A4D2Z3A8D3Z4A8D4Z4A8D5{}_{Z}^{A}\mathrm{X} \rightarrow {}_{Z-2}^{A-4}\mathrm{D}_1 \rightarrow {}_{Z-1}^{A-4}\mathrm{D}_2 \rightarrow {}_{Z-3}^{A-8}\mathrm{D}_3 \rightarrow {}_{Z-4}^{A-8}\mathrm{D}_4 \rightarrow {}_{Z-4}^{A-8}\mathrm{D}_5 where Z,AZ, A are the atomic and mass number of element X\mathrm{X}, respectively. The possible emitted particles or radiations in the sequence, respectively are:

A

e+,α,e,α,γe^+, \alpha, e^-, \alpha, \gamma

B

e,α,e+,α,γe^-, \alpha, e^+, \alpha, \gamma

C
