(A) In the given nuclear reaction,the atomic number increases by $1$ $(z \to z+1)$,while the mass number $A$ remains constant. An electron $(_{-1}e^0)$ and an antineutrino $(\bar \nu)$ are emitted. This process is characteristic of $\beta^-$ decay,where a neutron transforms into a proton,emitting an electron and an antineutrino.
