The electrons cannot exist inside the nucleus because:

A

De-Broglie wavelength associated with electron decay is much less than the size of the nucleus.

B

De-Broglie wavelength associated with electron decay is much greater than the size of the nucleus.

C

De-Broglie wavelength associated with electron decay is equal to the size of the nucleus.

D

negative charge cannot exist in the nucleus.
