The daughter nucleus has one proton more than the parent nucleus.

(C) In $\beta^-$ decay,a neutron inside the nucleus transforms into a proton,an electron,and an antineutrino: $n \rightarrow p + e^- + \bar{\nu}_e$.Since a neutron is converted into a proton,the atomic number $(Z)$ of the daughter nucleus increases by $1$ $(Z_{daughter} = Z_{parent} + 1)$.Therefore,the daughter nucleus has one proton more than the parent nucleus.The correct option is $C$.
