I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. A  beta particle that is emitted during nuclear decay is an electron. The high energy electron emitted in this reaction is called a beta particle and is represented by 0−1e−−10e− in nuclear equations. 

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Answer: The correct answer is Option C.

Explanation:

A beta particle is released when a nucleus undergoes a beta decay process. In this process, a neutron gets converted to a proton and an electron. The electron released is known as beta particle only.

The equation that represents beta decay process is:

\(_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^A\textrm{Y}+_{-1}^0\beta\)

The charge that this particle carries is -1 and it has a mass of 0 units. It is represented as \(_{-1}^0\beta\) of \(_{-1}^0e\)

Hence, the correct answer is Option C.
