In a radioactive decay, neither the atomic number nor the mass number changes. Which of the following would be emitted in the decay process?

$A$ nucleus $X$ undergoes the following transformation:
$X \xrightarrow{\alpha} Y$
$Y \xrightarrow{2\beta} Z$
Then:

$U^{238}$ decays into $Th^{234}$ by the emission of an $\alpha$-particle. There follows a chain of further radioactive decays,either by $\alpha$-decay or by $\beta$-decay. Eventually,a stable nuclide is reached,and after that,no further radioactive decay is possible. Which of the following stable nuclides is the end product of the $U^{238}$ radioactive decay chain?
