Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Nuclear force is a non central force

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Nuclear forces are the strongest forces in nature, acting between nucleons within the nucleus. They are short-range forces, effective only up to distances of the order of \(10^{-15}\) m (femtometers). Nuclear forces are charge-independent, meaning they act equally between…
