Answer

See the detailed answer below.

Work Step by Step

a) The daughter nucleus is given by $$A(X)=191-0=\bf 191$$ $$Z(X)=76-(-1)=\bf 77$$ From Appendix B, we see that the daughter is $$\rm \color{red}{\rm \bf ^{191}_{77}Ir}$$ b) We draw the energy-level of $\rm ^{191}_{76}Os$ and ${\rm ^{191}_{77}Ir}$ daughter with the excited states and the ground state, as we see the figure below. c) The $\beta^-$ decay to the the higher excited state.
