According to the nuclear energy curve, would fusion or fission or neither release nuclear energy from carbon [atomic number 6], and why?
A) Neither, because all other elements have higher nuclear energies.
B) Fission, because then the reaction products have lower atomic numbers and a higher nuclear energy.
C) Fission, because then the reaction products have higher atomic numbers and a lower nuclear energy.
D) Fusion, because then the reaction product has a higher atomic number and a lower nuclear energy.
E) Fusion, because then the reaction product has a lower atomic number and a higher nuclear energy.
