A slow neutron`(n)` is captured by a `._(92)U^(235)` nucleus forming a highly unstable nucleus `._(92)U^(236**)` (where `**` ddenotes that the nucleus is in an excited state). The fission of the nucleus occurs by

A

`._(92)^(236)U^(**)rarr._(50)^(140)Sn + ._(42)^(89)Mo + 6n+Q`

B

`._(236)^(92)U^(**)rarr._(54)^(140)Sn + ._(38)^(94)Sr + 4n+Q`

C

`._(92)^(236)U^(**)rarr._(52)^(144)Sn + ._(42)^(89)Mo + 3n+Q`

D

`._(92)^(236)U^(**)rarr._(56)^(144)Ba + ._(36)^(89)Kr + 3n+Q`
