In the process of a nuclear explosion,in which form is the maximum energy released?

The binding energy per nucleon in deuterium and helium nuclei are $1.1 \, MeV$ and $7.0 \, MeV,$ respectively. When two deuterium nuclei fuse to form a helium nucleus,the energy released in the fusion is ........... $MeV$.

The average number of prompt neutrons produced per fission of ${U^{235}}$ is

Assume that the nuclear binding energy per nucleon $(B/A)$ versus mass number $(A)$ is as shown in the figure. Use this plot to choose the correct choice$(s)$ given below:
$(A)$ Fusion of two nuclei with mass numbers lying in the range of $1 < A < 100$ will release energy.
$(B)$ Fusion of two nuclei with mass numbers lying in the range of $100 < A < 200$ will release energy.
$(C)$ Fission of a nucleus lying in the mass range of $100 < A < 200$ will release energy when broken into two equal fragments.
$(D)$ Fission of a nucleus lying in the mass range of $200 < A < 260$ will release energy when broken into two equal fragments.
