Which outcome results when a large fissile nucleus absorbs a neutron?

A)Chain reaction energy exponentially increases
B)Beta decay emission rate plateaus
C)Nuclear binding energy stabilizes rapidly
D)Isotopic abundance linearly reduces

💡 Explanation

An absorbed neutron may cause nuclear fission, releasing energy because neutron absorption causes induced fission rather than spontaneous decay; therefore, a chain reaction involving multiple fission events increases the energy rather than isotope changes.
