Answer: b.
Explanation: Nuclear energy comes from the nucleus—specifically the nuclear binding energy released in fission or fusion. Statement a is false (nuclear reactions can be contained and controlled in reactors and with shielding/containment systems). Statement c is false (nuclear fuel has a much higher energy density than chemical fuels, so it is not less efficient).
