Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Artificial radioactivity can be induced by bombarding a nucleus with high velocity.
A
Protons
B
Electrons
C
Neutrons
D
Nuclei
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: –Artificial radioactivity is produced in a substance by the bombardment with high-speed particles like: neutrons and protons. It is also called as induced radioactivity.-Artificial radioactive elements are formed when an atom is found to be exposed to slow moving neutrons in a nuclear reactor.

Detailed explanation-2: -Figure 2: Researchers have used particle to react with another atom such as Beryllium. The result is a Carbon nucleus and a neutron. This is artificial radioactivity or induced radioactivity.

Detailed explanation-3: -ARTIFICIAL RADIOACTIVITY:-These reactions occur when stable isotopes are bombarded with particles such as neutrons. This method of inducing a nuclear reaction to proceed is termed artificial radioactivity. This meant new nuclear reactions, which wouldn’t have been viewed spontaneously, could now be observed.

Detailed explanation-4: -nuclear reaction, change in the identity or characteristics of an atomic nucleus, induced by bombarding it with an energetic particle. The bombarding particle may be an alpha particle, a gamma-ray photon, a neutron, a proton, or a heavy ion.
