Carbon-14 is a radioactive element that undergoes beta decay. Which force is responsible for allowing carbon-14 to become stable?

Carbon-14 becomes stable through beta decay, in which a neutron changes into a proton and emits an electron and an antineutrino. This type of change is mediated by the weak nuclear force, so the correct choice is weak nuclear. The strong nuclear force holds the nucleus together, but it does not cause beta decay.
