Which outcome increases when neutron multiplication reaches criticality in fissile material?

💡 Explanation

Kinetic energy produced increases because criticality leads to a sustained, exponentially increasing number of fission events, quickly releasing excess kinetic energy, otherwise the reaction would dampen. Increased precursor decay does not release energy, rather than affecting kinetic energy or changing control-rod absorption, which maintains stable fission reactions.
