The correct option is A Hydrogen bomb

ENIAC(Electronic Numerical Integrator and Calculator) had huge advantage over Mark I because it used electronic values in place of the electromagnetic switches. In the beginning, ENIAC was used for calculating the path of artillery shells. For Hydrogen bomb was weapon design was it utilized

ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) was amongst the earliest electronic general-purpose computers made. It was Turing-complete, digital and able to solve "a large class of numerical problems" through reprogramming.

Although ENIAC was designed and primarily used to calculate artillery firing tables for the United States Army's Ballistic Research Laboratory, its first program was a study of the feasibility of the thermonuclear weapon. ENIAC was completed in 1945 and first put to work for practical purposes at the end of that year.
