If the binding energy per nucleon of deuteron $\left({ }_1 \mathrm{H}^2\right)$ is 1.15 MeV and an $\alpha$-particle has a binding energy of 7.1 MeV per nucleon, then the energy released per nucleon in the given reaction is
${ }_1 \mathrm{H}^2+{ }_1 \mathrm{H}^2 \rightarrow{ }_2 \mathrm{He}^4+\mathrm{Q}$
- A23.8 MeV
- B26.1 MeV
- Correct answerC5.95 MeV
- D28.9 MeV
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
