Tritium is an isotope of hydrogen whose nucleus Triton contains 2 neutrons and 1 proton free neutrons decay into `p+overline(e)+overline(v)` if one of the neutrons in triton decays, it would transform into a `He^(3)` nucleus. This does not happen because.A. Triton energy is less than that of a `He^(3)` nucleus.B. The electron created in the beta decay process cannot remain in the nucleus.C. Both the neutrons in tritono have to decay simultaneously resulting in a nucleus with 3 protons, which is not a `He^(3)` nucleus.D. Because free neutrons decay due to external perturbations which is absent in a triton nucleus.
