In a radioactive decay chain, the initial nucleus is `overset(232)(90).^(Th)`. At the end there are 6 `alpha`-particles and 4 `beta`-particles which are emitted. If the end nucleus is `overset(A)(Z).^(X),A` and Z are given by :

A

`A=208 , Z=80`

B

`A=202 , Z=80`

C

`A=208 , Z=82`

D

`A=200 , Z=81`
