Which outcome sharply increases when high-energy neutrons bombard Uranium-235 isotopes?

💡 Explanation

A sustained fission reaction ensues because neutron absorption by U-235 causes nuclear instability, initiating nuclear fission, therefore more neutrons are released propagating additional fissions, rather than simply undergoing decay or modifying isotopic abundances; this is a chain reaction.
