Choose the best option for binding energy/nucleon if nuclear energy is released in fission. Binding energy is

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

larger for fission fragments than for parent nucleus

Option C (larger for fission fragments than for parent nucleus) is correct because nuclear fission releases energy when the binding energy per nucleon of the fission fragments is higher than that of the parent nucleus.
