Answer:
B
Explanation:
Total no of protons in an atom is its atomic no and is unique for each element. Addition of proton to boron changes the atomic no and hence element get changed. Nuclear instability in an atom is naturally observed when n/p ratio is generally greater than 1.5. Hence option B is correct.
