Which reaction corresponds to the transformation of 14N with protons?

The transformation of nitrogen-14 (14N) with the interaction of protons is specifically a nuclear reaction that changes the identity and structure of the resulting nucleus. In the case of the reaction given as 14N (p, alpha) 11C, this indicates that when a proton interacts with a nitrogen-14 nucleus, it results in the emission of an alpha particle and the formation of carbon-11 (11C).

In this reaction, the proton interacts with the nitrogen nucleus, leading to the ejection of an alpha particle (which consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons). As a result, the remaining nucleus is carbon-11, which contains a total of 6 protons and 5 neutrons. This type of reaction is typical in nuclear physics and demonstrates the conversion of one element into another while also changing the nucleon composition.

The details of other reactions show different transformations or involve different particles (like deuterons in some cases), and they do not specifically correspond to the transformation of nitrogen-14 with protons leading to the production of carbon-11. The focus of the question is on how the nitrogen-14 nucleus reacts specifically with protons, which is clearly represented in option B.
