    Answer : Option C

    Explanation :

    Nuclear chain reactions are series of nuclear fissions (splitting of atomic nuclei), each initiated by a neutron produced in a preceding fission.

    A fission chain reaction in uranium can be developed By increasing the contents of U₂₃₅ and By slowing down fast neutrons so that U₂₃₅ fission continues by slow neutron
