Which outcome results when high-energy gamma radiation impacts boron-12?

💡 Explanation

Photo-disintegration results because the high-energy photon undergoes photonuclear reaction, overcoming binding energy via the giant dipole resonance mechanism, therefore nucleons are ejected, rather than electron-positron pairs from interactions with the field.
