- AA free neutron can transform itself into photon
- BA free proton can transform itself into neutron
- CIn beta minus decay, the electron originates from nucleus
- DAll of the above

Answer
- A free neutron can transform itself into photon
Explanation:
In beta minus decay, a neutron decays into a proton, an electron.
A free neutron is unstable, decaying to a proton, electron and antineutrino.
Inside a nucleus, a proton can transform into a neutron via inverse beta.
