Solution

The correct option is D spallation reaction
Spallation is the process in which a heavy nucleus emits a large number of nucleons as a result of being hit by a high-energy particle, thus greatly reducing its atomic weight.
$_{29}^{63} C u +_{2}^{4} H e ⟶_{17}^{37} C l + 14_{1}^{1} H + 16_{0}^{1} n$
The above reaction is an example of spallation.
