Solution

The correct option is B

atom bomb


Explanation of the correct option

Atom bomb

  1. The destructive purpose of the nuclear fission reaction is the atom bomb due to its uncontrolled chain reaction from the splitting of atoms.
  2. The atom bomb generates a massive amount of energy in a relatively short period of time, resulting in an explosion.

The explanation for the incorrect option

Generation of waste products

  1. The generation of waste products from the nuclear reaction contaminates the environment but it is not as destructive as the atom bomb explosion.

Nitrogen bomb

  1. The nitrogen bomb also contaminates the environment on a large scale.

Hence, the correct option is B.
