The answer is D as an electron is given off (which is a beta particle) and an electron is so small in weight/size (1/1840) that it is not counted when the mass number is calculated, instead the neutrons and protons are used
Also the atomic number is only dependant on the number of protons as this identifies the element as no two elements can have the same number of protons but can have the same number of electrons (e..g isotopes). So nothind is affected so it has to be D

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In a nuclear reaction, sometimes a high energy electron or positron is emitted which is known as beta particle.

For example, ^{14}_{6}C \rightarrow ^{14}_{7}N + ^{0}_{-1}e[/ttex]Symbol of a beta particle is either [tex]^{0}_{-1}\beta or ^{0}_{-1}e.

Therefore, we can conclude that when an atom releases a beta particle, the atomic number increases by one.

Molecular structures of an object directly affect its physical properties (especially intensive features) such as color, density, melting and boiling points, malleability etcetera.
An example is a type of bond between the atoms and molecules in an object that influence its physical properties. Covalent bonds, for instance, render the strength of an object but deny it electric conductivity.

The feature of endocrine system that makes it distinctly different from the nervous system is that it uses hormones distributed through the bloodstream, option(A).

<h3>Why is endocrine system distinctly different from nervous system?</h3>
  • The biggest difference between these two is that the endocrine system uses hormones produced by glands into the bloodstream, whereas the nervous system uses electrical impulses to send signals through neurons.
  • The signal transmission of the nervous system is fast because neurons are interconnected, but the functions are short-lived when compared to endocrine system.

Therefore, option(A) is the correct answer.

To know about differences between the two systems, refer:

Boiga irregularis or brown snake is a slender, climbing snake with a vertical pupil and large eyes, providing it better nocturnal vision. The species has no natural predator. When the brown snake is accidentally released into the island, it will result in local extinction of the majority of the island's native lizard and bird species.

It will also result in cascading ecological influences by eradicating native pollinators, resulting in the corresponding reduction of the native plant species.

Hence, the correct answer will be fewer birds and more snakes.
