Solution

The correct option is C Both $S$ and $E$ are correct and $E$ is correct explanation of $S$
Nuclear fission is a chain reaction.
Extra neutrons generated during fission further attacks nuclei of fissionable material.
Thus a given nucleus after fission gives neutrons which then attack another fissionable nucleus.
This in turn releases new neutrons which attacks another nucleus.
Thus, the process continues.
Thus, Both S and E are correct and E is correct explanation of S.
