Answer:

Option C. ⁰₊₁e

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

¹⁵₈O —> ¹⁵₇N + __

Let the unknown be ʸₓM

Thus, the equation becomes

¹⁵₈O —> ¹⁵₇N + ʸₓM

Next, we shall determine x, y and M. This can be obtained as follow:

8 = 7 + x

Collect like terms

8 – 7 = x

1 = x

x = 1

15 = 15 + y

Collect like terms

15 – 15 = y

0 = y

y = 0

ʸₓM => ⁰₁M => ⁰₊₁e

Therefore,

¹⁵₈O —> ¹⁵₇N + ʸₓM

¹⁵₈O —> ¹⁵₇N + ⁰₊₁e
