Energy given to nucleus to dismantle it increases the
A
kinetic energy of individual nucleons
B
potential energy of individual nucleons
C
chemical energy of individual nucleons
D
mechanical energy of individual nucleons
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Nuclear binding energy is basically the energy required to dismantle a nucleus into free unbound neutrons and protons.

Detailed explanation-2: -The energy required to separate the nucleons in a nucleus to infinity is called Binding Energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -Kinetic and potential energy of atoms result from the motion of electrons. When electrons are excited they move to a higher energy orbital farther away from the atom. The further the orbital is from the nucleus, the higher the potential energy of an electron at that energy level.

Detailed explanation-4: -This nuclear energy is potential energy stored inside the nucleus of an atom. The protons and neutrons inside of the nucleus are held together by the strong nuclear force, which balances the repulsion of the Coulomb force between the protons. The weak force balances the number of neutrons and protons.

Detailed explanation-5: -Nuclear potential energy, or nuclear energy, is the energy found in the nuclei of atoms.
