Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) (A), (C) and (E) Only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(A) is Correct: The nuclear force is repulsive at very short distances (less than 0.8 fm ) but becomes attractive beyond that point to keep the nucleus together. (C) is Correct: By definition, isotones are nuclides that share the same number of neutrons ( \(N\) ) but have…
