The correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.

(a, b, c)

In beta decay neutron decays to proton

→ p + + e – spin of p

+ , e – & is

Therefore spin (R.H.S.) is either 0 or 1

spin (L.H.S.) in

spin (R.H.S.) ≠ spin (L.H.S.)

Hence spin angular momentum is not conserved.

Total energy, mass number and charge is conserved as can be seen by equation.
