Which of the following is a boson: a. Proton b. Neutrino c. Photon d. Pion

Which of the following is a boson: a. Proton b. Neutrino c. Photon d. Pion

Explanation

A photon is a boson, which is a particle with an integer spin that transmits electromagnetic force. 


Proton: Protons are fermions, which have a half-integer spin. 

Neutrino: Neutrinos are also fermions. 

Pion: While considered a meson, pions are composite particles made of quarks and antiquarks and are classified as bosons.
