Answer

$^{40} K, ^{91}Zr, ^{121}Sb$ and $^{143}Nd$

Work Step by Step

A nucleus that has one nucleon outside a filled shell is the element with one more than magic number of neutrons or protons. Magic numbers are $2, 8, 20, 28, 50, 82, $ and $126$ Now let's analyze the neutron number and proton number of each the elements. $^{40} K$ Neutron : 21 (One more than Magic number) Proton : 19 $^{91}Zr $ Neutron : 51 (One more than Magic number) Proton : 40 $^{121}Sb$ Neutron : 70 Proton : 51 (One more than Magic number) $^{143}Nd$ Neutron : 83 (One more than Magic number) Proton : 60
