    D alpha particles

    Explanation:

    Radioactive U-238 will decay into Thorium - 232 by emitting alpha particles in the process of nuclear fission.

    Nuclear fission is the radioactive decay process in which a heavy nucleus spontaneously disintegrates into two lighter ones and several other particles with a large release of energy.

    U-238 → Th-232 + alpha particles + 2 neutrons + energy

    This way the mass and atomic numbers are conserved;
