Understand the Problem
The question is asking to identify which decay process competes with beta-plus disintegration, requiring knowledge of nuclear decay processes and their interactions.
Answer
Electron capture.
The final answer is electron capture.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is electron capture.
More Information
Electron capture is a process where an inner orbital electron is captured by the nucleus, which results in the conversion of a proton into a neutron, similar to beta-plus decay.
