An appropriate model of nuclear fission is disturbing a drop of water such that it breaks into smaller droplets. This option represents the process where a larger nucleus splits into smaller nuclei (the droplets), which is analogous to how nuclear fission works when a heavy nucleus splits into lighter nuclei.
