Is the following nuclear reaction balanced?
A.) Yes
B.) No

Answer : Yes, the following nuclear reaction are balanced.
Explanation :
Beta emission or beta minus decay : It is a type of decay process, in which a neutrons gets converted to proton, an electron and anti-neutrino. In this the atomic mass number remains same.
The beta minus decay equation is represented as,
[tex]_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^A\textrm{Y}+_{-1}^0e[/tex]
(A is the atomic mass number and Z is the atomic number)
The given reaction follow beta minus decay as:
[tex]_{19}^{40}\textrm{K}\rightarrow _{20}^{40}\textrm{Ca}+_{-1}^0e[/tex]
Hence, the following nuclear reaction are balanced.
