Assertion (A): Thermonuclear fusion reactions may become the source of unlimited power for mankind.
Reason (R): A single fusion event involving isotopes of hydrogen produces more energy than energy from nuclear fission of \(^{235}_{93} U\) .
- Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
- Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
- A is true but R is false.
- A is false but R is true.
Answer
(C) A is true but R is false.
