Explanation

Beta-plus decay is the scientifically accurate answer to this question. Within the study of Atoms and Molecules, this concept is well-established through extensive research and is documented in standard scientific literature. The specific properties, mechanisms, or characteristics of Beta-plus decay directly address what is being asked. Among the other options, Alpha decay, Beta-minus decay, and Gamma decay do not correctly answer this question because they either refer to different concepts, describe properties of other molecules or processes, or represent common misconceptions about this topic.
