Which of the following nuclear equations most correctly represents the decay of carbon-14 to nitrogen-14 while satisfying all conservation laws? a) 614C  →  714N+β−_{6}^{14}\text{C}\;\rightarrow\;_{7}^{14}\text{N}+\beta^{-} b) 614C  →  514B+β−+νˉe_{6}^{14}\text{C}\;\rightarrow\;_{5}^{14}\text{B}+\beta^{-}+\bar{\nu}_e c) 614C  →  714N+β−+νˉe_{6}^{14}\text{C}\;\rightarrow\;_{7}^{14}\text{N}+\beta^{-}+\bar{\nu}_e d) 614C  →  714N+β++νe_{6}^{14}\text{C}\;\rightarrow\;_{7}^{14}\text{N}+\beta^{+}+\nu_{e}
