Common particles in radioactive decay and nuclear transformations are mentioned below,
(c)

Explanation of Solution
The given unbalanced
The positron particles do not have any impact on mass number. Hence, total atomic number released by the positron particles can be determined by taking the difference between the atomic number of Hydrogen and Helium.
Atomic number of each positron particle is 1. Hence, number of positron particle is 2.
Therefore, equation can be given as,
