Which process determines helium-4 stability, given nucleon composition?

A)High nuclear binding energy
B)Weak magnetic dipole moment
C)Low susceptibility to electron capture
D)Strong repulsive electrostatic forces

💡 Explanation

Higher nuclear binding energy signifies a stable nucleus because the energy required to disassemble the nucleus is large; therefore helium-4 is stable because it exhibits high average binding energy per nucleon, rather than weaker forces or decay processes.
