In a nuclear fission process,a nucleus $A$ divides into two nuclei $B$ and $C$. If their binding energies are ${E_a}$,${E_b}$,and ${E_c}$ respectively,which of the following relations is correct?

  • A
    ${E_b} + {E_c} = {E_a}$
  • B
    ${E_b} + {E_c} > {E_a}$
  • C
    ${E_b} + {E_c} < {E_a}$
  • D
    ${E_b} \cdot {E_c} = {E_a}$
