Answer 2

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A beta particle is a particle with a negatively charged electron. Symbol of a beta particle is $^{0}_{-1}\beta$.

An alpha particles is basically a helium nucleus and it contains 2 protons and 2 neutrons.  

Symbol of an alpha particle is $^{4}_{2}\alpha$.

A gamma particle is basically a photon of electromagnetic radiation with a short wavelength.

Symbol of a gamma particle is $^{0}_{0}\gamma$.

Therefore, we can conclude that the charge of a beta particle is 1-.
