a

The energy required to remove one neutron from  3Li7   to transform it into the isotope  3Li6  is 7.25MeV.

b

Unlike other light nuclei the   2He4   nuclei has a higher value of the binding energy per nucleon

c

The binding energy per nucleon decreases for nuclei with small as well as large atomic numbers

d

When two deuterium nuclei fuse together, they give rise to a tritium nucleus. This process is an endothermic.

answer is D.

Detailed Solution

Statement (a) is correct. The   2He4   nucleus (or the α -particle) is exceptionally stable and  has  a much higher value of BE per nucleon than that for most other light-nuclei.
Statement (b) is correct but the reason of decrease in binding energy in different for the cases  of small and  larger value of A. The reason for the decrease in the BE per nucleon for nuclei  with large A is that with an increase in the number of protons, the coulomb repulsion  increases. On the other hand, the decrease in the BE per nucleon for nuclei with small A is  due to a surface effect the nucleons at the surface being less strongly bound than those in the  interior.
Statement (c) is also correct. The energy reguired to remove one neutron (i.e., one nucleon) is  the same as deference in  binding energy
Statement (d) is incorrect. To enesure both charge and mass number conservation, a proton  must be produced as a by-product of the reaction.   tD2+tD2tT3+tPt+Q
