Protons are rarely emitted, but a decay mode called positron decay is very common. The positron is the antiparticle of the electron and is exactly the same mass as the electron. It has charge +e.

Which of the following particles has the same mass as an electron but a positive charge and is sometimes emitted from the nucleus during radioactive decay?

The particle that has the same mass as an electron (9.11 x 10^-31 kg) but a positive charge and is sometimes emitted from the nucleus during radioactive decay is a positron. A positron is the antimatter counterpart to an electron and has a charge of +1.

Are beta particles positive or negative?

Beta particles can be either positive or negative. It depends if an electron or a positrion is emited. Usually though, beta particles are negative as it is much more common for an electron to be emitted (though that does depend on the substance).
