Question
Why did scientists believe in the existence of the neutrino even though it wasn't discovered for several years after after the time of its prediction?
The particles were in fact experimentally discovered first.
Scientists were confident in the law of Conservation of energy.
They were able to observe their tracks in cloud chambers.
They were able to calculate exactly how much mass was being transported away from a parent atom during the gamma decay process.

Explanation / Answer
Part ( b) is correct
The neutrino was postulated first by Wolfgang Pauli in 1930 to explain how beta decay could conserve energy, momentum, and angular momentum (spin)
