In the decay scheme, the β- decay is denoted by the blank 'β' followed by the emitted particle ('-1' denotes one unit of charge). Similarly, the α particles are denoted by 'α' and neutrons by 'n'. The initial state is denoted by the blank with the given alphanumeric code. 
According to the given decay scheme, the blank before the final state denotes the emitted particle in the decay. In this case, the blank is 'p', which denotes a proton. Therefore, the correct choice is C, which represents the emitted particle as a proton.
