The answer to the question is the letter "Beta Particles".

The Beta particles can have either a positive charge or a negative charge when they released during radioactive decay. Among all particles, this is also the most penetrating radioactive productive.

Answer:

B. beta particles

Explanation:

Beta particles (β) are one of the high energy particles that are released during a radioactive decay.

Beta particles can be negatively charged  also known as electrons or positively charged  also known as positrons. These particles have a mass which is 1/2000 the mass of a proton.

Negatively charged beta particles (electrons) are represented as: [tex]_{-1}^{0}\textrm{e}[/tex]

positively charged beta particles (positrons) are represented as: [tex]_{+1}^{0}\textrm{e}[/tex]
