The correct answer is:

Beta decay.

Explanation:

The proton stays in the nucleus and the electron breaks the atom with high energy, and we call it a beta particle. When a beta scrap is discharged from the nucleus the nucleus has one more proton and one less neutron. This means the atomic mass number persists fixed and the atomic number increases by 1.
