Which of the following nuclear reactions is possible?

Which of the following nuclear reactions is possible?

${{}_{5}B}^{10} + {}_{2}{He}^{4} ⟶ {{}_{7}N}^{13} + {{}_{1}H}^{1}$
${}_{11}{Na}^{24} + {{}_{1}H}^{1} ⟶ {}_{10}{Ne}^{20} + {}_{2}{He}^{4}$
${}_{93}{Np}^{239} ⟶ {}_{94}{Pu}^{239} + β^{-} + \bar{ν}$
${{}_{7}N}^{11} + {{}_{1}H}^{1} ⟶ {{}_{6}C}^{12} + β^{-} + \bar{ν}$

Solution

According to the charge conservation and mass number conservation,

${}_{93}{Np}^{239} ⟶ {}_{94}{Pu}^{239} + β^{-} + \bar{ν}$

is correct option.
