Which consequence results when the average binding energy within Neptunium-237 decreases suddenly?

A)Increased material tensile strength
B)Decreased alpha decay rate
C)Spontaneous nuclear fission occurs
D)Enhanced neutron absorption probability

💡 Explanation

Spontaneous fission is promoted because lower binding energy directly reduces the stability of the nucleus; therefore, the nucleus is more likely to split rather than stay intact, due to the weakened binding force.
