The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

- After $\alpha$ decay, mass number reduces by 4, atomic number by 2: 286, 80.

- After $\beta^+$ emission, atomic number reduces by 1: 286, 79.

- After $\beta^-$ emission, atomic number increases by 1: 286, 80.

- After electron capture, atomic number reduces by 1: 286, 81.
