The graph of binding energy per nucleon versus mass number is shown. Using it, select the processes that release energy. Image

Select all that apply

• Option A

  Fusion of two nuclei with mass numbers 1 < A < 50 releases energy.

• Option B

  Fusion of two nuclei with mass numbers 51 < A < 100 releases energy.

• Option C

  Fission of a nucleus with 100 < A < 200 into two equal fragments releases energy.

• Option D

  Fission of a nucleus with 200 < A < 260 into two equal fragments releases energy.
