Answer

a. Charge and strangeness. b. Energy. c. Baryon number, strangeness, spin.

Work Step by Step

a. Conservation of charge is violated: $0 \neq 0 + (-1)$. Conservation of strangeness is violated: $-1 \neq 0 + 0$. b. Conservation of energy is violated: $$1115.7 MeV/c^2 \lt 938.3 MeV/c^2+493.7 MeV/c^2$$ c. Conservation of baryon number is violated: $1 \neq 0 + 0$. Conservation of strangeness is violated: $-1 \neq 0 + 0$. Conservation of spin is violated: $\frac{1}{2} \neq 0 + 0$.
