In the nuclear reaction $_1^2H + _1^3H \to _2^4He + _0^1n$, if the binding energies of $_1^2H$, $_1^3H$, and $_2^4He$ are respectively $a$, $b$, and $c$ (in $MeV$), then the energy (in $MeV$) released in this reaction is:

  • A
    $c + a - b$
  • B
    $c - a - b$
  • C
    $a + b + c$
  • D
    $a + b - c$
