during $\beta+$ decay
\\(\circ\\) a neutron is transformed to a proton.
\\(\circ\\) a proton is transformed to a neutron.
\\(\circ\\) a neutron is ejected from the nucleus.
\\(\circ\\) a proton is ejected from the nucleus.

Explanation:

In $\beta^+$ (positron) decay, a proton in the nucleus transforms into a neutron. The process involves the emission of a positron and a neutrino. A neutron transforming to a proton is $\beta^-$ decay. Ejecting a neutron or proton is not $\beta^+$ decay (e.g., neutron ejection is not typical $\beta$ decay, proton ejection is not $\beta$ decay). So the correct description is a proton being transformed to a neutron.

Answer:

B. a proton is transformed to a neutron.
