Step1: Balance mass - number
In a nuclear reaction, the sum of mass - numbers on the left - hand side equals the sum of mass - numbers on the right - hand side. The mass - number of He is 4 and the mass - number of Li is 7. Let the mass - number of B be $A$. Then $A + 4=7$, so $A = 3$.
Step2: Balance atomic - number
The atomic - number of He is 2 and assume the atomic - number of B is $C$. The atomic - number of Li is 3. Then $C + 2=3$, so $C = 1$.
Step3: Identify the element
The element with atomic - number 1 is hydrogen ($H$).
Step4: Determine the remaining number
Since the reaction is balanced in terms of mass - number and atomic - number, and we have found the other values, for the mass - number of $H$ which we assumed as $A$ is 3, and for the atomic - number of $H$ which is $C$ is 1. Now, for the unknown $D$, in the context of this nuclear reaction balancing, considering the mass - number relationship, it is 3.
