Solution

The correct option is A greater than that of the reacting nuclei
The binding energy of the product nucleus will be greater than that of the reacting nuclei, because when two light nuclei fuse to form relatively heavier nucleus, energy is released. And the higher the binding energy, the more stable the nucleus is.
