- (a)x-radiation
- (b)α-radiation
- (c)γ-radiation
- (d)β−radiation

α-radiation
Reason — Alpha (α) radiation consists of alpha particles, which are composed of two protons and two neutrons. These particles are relatively large and heavy compared to other types of radiation, such as beta (β) and gamma (γ) radiation.
