Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The weak interaction is mediated by the exchange of W+, W-, and Z0 bosons, which are the carriers of the weak force. Gluons are the carriers of the strong force, photons are the carriers of the electromagnetic force, mesons are a type of hadron, and leptons do not play a direct role in mediating the weak interaction.
