A system is a part of the <em>physical</em> universe defined <em>arbitrarily</em> for observation purposes.
Boundaries are a part of the <em>physical</em> universe that are around the system.
In a scientific sense, a system is a part of the <em>physical</em> universe whose boundaries, that is, the limit between the system and its surroundings, are defined <em>arbitrarily</em> for observation purposes.
A system contains at least a model, represented in a phenomenological way, and it can be isolated (no mass nor energy interactions), closed (no mass interactions) or open.
The surroundings are a part of the <em>physical</em> universe that are around the system.
An example is a coffee-maker, where coffee-maker the system and air represents the surroundings, the coffee-maker receives energy from a heat source to warm up itself and releases part of such energy to the air.

Answer:
The answer is D. gamma rays
Explanation:
A radioactive atom can have three different types of emission:
alpha particles (α) = they have a mass of 4 amu and they have a very low penetrating power.
Beta particles (β) = they have 5x amu and they have an intermediate penetrating power
Gamma rays (γ) = they are not particles basically just energy so its mass is ≈ 0 and its penetrating power is higher
For this reason Gamma emissions (γ) has the smallest mass value.
