The binding energies per nucleon for a deuteron $(_{1}H^{2})$ and an $\alpha$-particle $(_{2}He^{4})$ are $x_1$ and $x_2$ respectively. What will be the energy $Q$ released in the reaction $_{1}H^{2} + _{1}H^{2} \to _{2}He^{4} + Q$?

  • A
    $4(x_1 + x_2)$
  • B
    $4(x_2 - x_1)$
  • C
    $2(x_1 + x_2)$
  • D
    $2(x_2 - x_1)$
