Ответ:
B. in a sample of enriched uranium
Explanation:
Decaying of U-235 atom is a process of nuclear fission. In this process a neutron is bombarded on U-235 and the uranium atom captures the neutron and divide immediately to release neutron. With the release of one neutron another nuclear fission process starts.
The free neutron is then split in a sample of enriched uranium because splitting nucleus releases high energy and enrich uranium increases the percentage of uranium-235 which further undergoes fission. This is why enrich uranium samples are used in atomic reactors.
Hence, the correct option is B.
