Assume the graph of specific binding energy versus mass number is as shown in the figure. Using this graph,select the correct choice from the following.

  • A
    Fusion of two nuclei of mass number lying in the range of $100 < A < 200$ will release energy.
  • B
    Fusion of two nuclei of mass number lying in the range of $51 < A < 100$ will release energy.
  • C
    Fusion of two nuclei of mass number lying in the range of $1 < A < 50$ will release energy.
  • D
    Fission of the nucleus of mass number lying in the range of $100 < A < 200$ will release energy when broken into two fragments.
