The most appropriate model of nuclear fission from the provided options is disturbing a drop of water such that it breaks into smaller droplets.

This analogy reflects the process of nuclear fission where an atomic nucleus splits into smaller nuclei (fission fragments), releasing energy in the process. The breaking of the drop into smaller droplets is akin to the splitting of the nucleus.
