Beta decay is very complex phenomena in natural radioactive decay. There are 3 types of Beta decay.
B+ decay (Beta plus or Beta positive or positron decay):
is the conversion of a proton into a neutron plus a positron and an electron neutrino.
B- decay (Beta negative or Beta nought):
is the conversion of a neutron into a proton plus an electron and a electron antineutrino.
Note: a positron is the a positive electron or the antiparticle of the electron.

Answer: C) The two particles will move away from each other
Explanation:
When two electrically charged bodies come closer, appears a force that attracts or repels them, depending on the sign of the charges of this two bodies.
This is stated by Coulomb's Law:
"The electrostatic force between two point charges and is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates them, and has the direction of the line that joins them"
Mathematically this law is written as:
Where is a proportionality constant.
Now, if and have the same sign charge (both positive or both negative), a repulsive force will act on these charges.
