In pair production in the Big Bang, which statement is FALSE?
A)The heaviest particles and their antiparticles formed first, from collisions of the highestenergy gamma rays.
B)Matter is frozen energy, according to Einstein's $\mathrm { E } = \mathrm { mc } 2$
C)Every electron should have a proton formed at the same time with it.
D)Even neutrons have their antineutrons, although both lack any charge.
E)In addition to familiar neutrons and protons, many other exotic particle and antiparticle pairsformed, but decayed back to radiation.

C) is false because in pair production, particles and their antiparticles are created from energy, and the creation of an electron would be paired with an anti-electron (positron), not a proton. Pair production does not dictate that electrons and protons form together.
