The appropriate model for a nuclear chain reaction would be **knocking over the first in a straight line of dominoes**.
This option symbolizes how a single event (or particle, such as a neutron) can initiate a series of reactions, leading to a larger effect, much like how knocking over the first domino causes a chain reaction among all the others.
