State the four fundamental interactions of nature.

[1]
b.

A positive muon (μ+\mu^+μ+) is an unstable particle. State the products of the decay of a free positive muon.

[1]
c.

Explain which of the fundamental interactions is responsible for the decay of the positive muon.

[2]
d.

The electromagnetic interaction between an approaching electron and a proton causes them to attract and change their directions of motion. Explain, using the concept of exchange particles, how this interaction results in a change in their paths.
