Which outcome occurs when iron's binding energy peaks?

💡 Explanation

Peak nuclear stability occurs because the iron nucleus has maximized its binding energy per nucleon; therefore, it won't readily undergo fission or fusion because achieving either would require energy input rather than yielding it.
