C. The ability to release tremendous amounts of energy
Explanation:
The decay of massive and unstable nuclei which leads to the formation of newer atoms or nuclei accompanied by the release of energy is known as nuclear fission. In a splitting reaction such as fission, energy is released from the conversion of mass.
The energy released in a fission reaction can be used to generate electricity through a series of process. Most advanced countries in the world generates their electricity through this process.
