Alonso Zhang · Answer 1

The correct answer here is the first statement A - the quantity that can be calculated using the equation E = mc2 would most likely be the energy needed to split an atom into separate protons, neutrons and electrons. This is of course one of the most famous equations that exists within science today, and is therefore a very important equation to know.
