It seems that you have not included the answer choices... I googled the question anyway and of the four possible choices: A. C-14, N-16, P-32 B. Cs-137, Fr-220, Tc-99 C. Kr-85, Ne-19, Rn-222 D. Pu-239, Th-232, U-238 The answer would be C. All you have to remember for these questions is an Alpha Emitter loses a mass of 4 and has an atomic number 2 less. A beta emitter will produce one less electron, while a positron one more. Therefore the beta emitter will make the atomic number go up 1 while a positron emitter will make it go down 1.
