Classify the following experimentally observed processes into strong, electromagnetic and weak reactions by considering the particles involved and the appropriate selection rules.

(a) π → π0 + e + ν̅e 

(b) γ + p → π+ + n;

(c) p+ p̅ → π+ + π + π0

(d) D → K+ + π + π;

(e) Λ + p → K− + p + p; 

(f) π + p → n + e+ + e.
