Assertion : If we compare the stability ...

Assertion : If we compare the stability of two nuclei, then that nucleus is more stable whose total binding energy is more.
Reason: More the mass defect during formation of a nucleus more will be the binding energy.

A

If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is correct explanation of the Assertion.

B

If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.

C

If Assertion is true, but the Reason is false.

D

If Assertion is false but the Reason is true.
