The simple trick which one can consider in such problem where it is asked for positron emission is :
<span>When the atomic number goes DOWN by one and mass number remains unchanged, then a positron is emitted.
</span>
<span>a. </span>

<span>
Here the atomic number decreases by one.
Similarly, options b and d are eliminated.
Option c is also not the answer.
For c, Count the atomic number on left side and compare it with right side. You will see it is 9 on left and 8 on right. Atomic no. did go down by 1. But the atomic mass is changed as well.

Number of O atoms : 24
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
C₆H₁₂O₆ compound
Required
Number of atoms
Solution
A molecular formula shows the number of atomic elements in compound.
The empirical formula is the smallest comparison of the atoms
Glucose-C₆H₁₂O₆ is composed of 3 elements, namely C, H, and O.
The number of atoms in a compound can usually be seen from the subscript number after the atom and the reaction coefficient shows the number of molecules
So number of O atoms :
= 4 x 6 = 24 atoms
Water is found in lakes and rivers. Its purpose in nature is to hydrate animals
Hydrogen gas is not abundant in nature, but hydrogen is abundant in water. Hydrogen (bonds) help ice float. Otherwise, freezing lakes would kill animals (it actually doesn't since the ice creates a "coat" above the water").
Ammonia is nitrogen-rich molecules that plant uses to get their nitrogen. It comes from the part of the nitrogen cycle where dead plants and animals are decayed.
Carbon dioxide is what we exhale. Plants "inhale" carbon dioxide and use that for photosynthesis.
Hydrogen sulfide is emitted by volcanoes and by anaerobic (oxygen-less) decay from bacteria.
Have an awesome day! I hope this helps.
