The graph shows the binding energy per nucleon versus mass number. $A, B, C, D, E, F$ are different nuclei. Four processes are given where $\varepsilon$ is the energy released. In which process is $\varepsilon > 0$?
$(i) \, A + B \rightarrow C + \varepsilon$
$(ii) \, C \rightarrow A + B + \varepsilon$
$(iii) \, D + E \rightarrow F + \varepsilon$
$(iv) \, F \rightarrow D + E + \varepsilon$

  • A
    $(ii)$ and $(iv)$
  • B
    $(ii)$ and $(iii)$
  • C
    $(i)$ and $(iv)$
  • D
    $(i)$ and $(iii)$
