A. The ability to absorb energy


B. The ability to produce more energy than nuclear fusion


C. The ability to release tremendous amounts of energy


D. There are no beneficial aspects of nuclear fission

Answer 1

C. The ability to release tremendous amounts of energy

Step-by-step explanation:

The decay of massive and unstable nuclei which leads to the formation of newer atoms or nuclei accompanied by the release of energy is known as nuclear fission. In a splitting reaction such as fission, energy is released from the conversion of mass.

The energy released in a fission reaction can be used to generate electricity through a series of process. Most advanced countries in the world generates their electricity through this process.
