Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(A) Neutrons, being neutral, do not experience electrostatic repulsion from the positively charged nucleus and thus penetrate more readily than protons. (Correct) (B) Orbital electrons have binding energies in eV, while nucleons are bound by the strong nuclear force with MeV…
