Correct answer
Cneutron
Step-by-step explanation
Nuclear fission equation
$\begin{aligned}
{ }_{92} \mathrm{U}^{135}+{ }_0 \mathrm{n}^1 \longrightarrow & { }_{56} \mathrm{Ba}^{141}+{ }_{36} \mathrm{Kr}^{92} \\
& +3{ }_0 \mathrm{n}^1+\mathrm{Q}(\text { energy })
\end{aligned}$
Hence particle is neutron.
