(D) In $\beta$-decay,the energy released is shared between the $\beta$-particle and the antineutrino (or neutrino). Because the energy is shared in a continuous manner,the $\beta$-particles are emitted with a continuous range of kinetic energies,from zero up to a maximum value $E_0$. The distribution curve $N(E)$ versus $E$ starts from zero at $E=0$,reaches a peak at an intermediate energy,and drops to zero at the maximum energy $E_0$. This corresponds to the graph shown in option $D$.
