← ScienceWhich consequence results when deuterium undergoes nuclear fusion?
A)Increased average binding energy per nucleon✓
B)Beta decay rates become increasingly significant
C)Decreased kinetic energy of resultant particle
D)The half-life substantially reduces over time
💡 Explanation
Fusion increases the nucleon number, which leads to increased binding energy per nucleon through nucleon rearrangement, because the strong force is at its optimum. Therefore, the average binding energy increases, rather than other decay processes increasing under these conditions.
