Solution

The correct option is A Plutonium 239
Plutonium 239 is the best nuclear fuel used in breeder reactors. A breeder reactor is a nuclear reactor that creates more fissile material than it consumes. It requires an initial charge of fissile material, such as plutonium. So, plutonium is the best nuclear fuel.
