A nucleus `._Z^A X` has mass represented by `M(A, Z)`. If `M_p` and `M_p` denote the mass of proton and neutron respectively and `BE` the binding energy (in MeV), then :

A

`B.E. = [M(A,Z)-ZM_(p)-(A-Z)M_(n)]c^(2)`

B

`B.E. = [ZM_(p)+(A-Z)M_(n)-M(A,Z)]c^(2)`

C

`B.E. = [ZM_(p)+ AM_(n) - M(A,Z)]c^(2)`

D

`B.E. = M(A,Z)-ZM_(p)-(A-Z)M_(n)`
