Which option correctly compares beta decay and gamma decay?
a
Beta decay releases a particle, while gamma decay only releases energy. Neither beta decay nor gamma decay is a form of nuclear fission.
b
Beta decay only releases energy, while gamma decay releases a particle. Neither beta decay nor gamma decay is a form of nuclear fission.
c
Beta decay releases a particle, while gamma decay only releases energy. Beta decay is a form of nuclear fission, but gamma decay is not.
d
Beta decay only releases energy, while gamma decay releases a particle. Gamma decay is a form of nuclear fission, but beta decay is not.
