    the energy that must be supplied to a stable nucleus before it can undergo fission. It is equal to the mass defect

    Nuclei are made up of protons and neutrons, but the mass of a nucleus is always less than the sum of the individual masses of the protons and neutrons which constitute it. The difference is a measure of the nuclear binding energy which holds the nucleus together.

    The answer is therefor A.
