Which consequence results when alpha decay reduces binding energy?

A)Increased nuclear fusion probability.
B)Enhanced radioactive decay resistance.
C)Elevated thermal kinetic energy.
D)Emission of high-energy photons.

💡 Explanation

The alpha decay process decreases binding energy; this lost potential energy converts into kinetic energy of emitted particles because the conservation of energy maintains the initial energy. Therefore, increased thermal kinetic energy rather than higher probability fusion and lower resistance emerges.
