Answer: Correct option is C.

Explanation: As the alpha decay produces alpha particles, gamma decay produces gamma rays and beta decay produces beta particles. So the first row of the table represents the particles produced during these decays.

So, the question that should be asked in order to complete the table would be: What kind of particles are produced by beta decay?
