Which process initiates when depleted uranium isotopes absorb thermalneutrons?

A)Neutron activation yielding daughter products
B)Spontaneous alpha decay with helium release
C)Artificial transmutation into plutonium isotopes
D)Strong force increase inhibiting further changes

💡 Explanation

Neutron activation occurs because capture transmutates unstable isotopes; therefore gamma and particle emission are probable, rather than it inducing fission or transmutation. Alpha relies on inherent instability and strong force regulates rather than initiates.
