Which energy difference governs barium-141 production in nuclear fission?

A)Binding energy releases during neutron capture
B)Kinetic energy drives fragment separation
C)Coulomb repulsion splits an activated nucleus
D)Internal energy reaches the fission threshold

💡 Explanation

Fission occurs when internal energy exceeds the fission threshold, prompting splitting; this releases barium-141 isotopes because the nucleus requires enough activation energy to proceed, rather than instantaneous binding energy mechanisms or subsequent fragment separation.
