Explanation:

The atom splits into two nuclei

Nuclear fission is the splitting of a nucleus into two or more nuclei.

What is Nuclear fission?

The process in which the heavy nucleus of a radioactive atom (such as uranium, plutonium or thorium) splits up into smaller nuclei when bombarded with low energy neutrons, is called nuclear fission.

Nuclear fission is a reaction wherein a heavy nucleus is bombarded by neutrons and thus becomes unstable, which causes it to decompose into two nuclei with equivalent size and magnitude, with a great detachment of energy and the emission of two or three neutrons.

Hence, option D is correct.
