hey student..
for this question you need to have a basic idea of the binding energy
Binding energy is the energy required to disassemble a whole system into separate parts. A bound system typically has a lower potential energy than the sum of its constituent parts; this is what keeps the system together. Often this means that energy is released upon the creation of a bound state.
now try correlating it with the data given in the question and you ll get the answer..
