The true fact during a fission chain reaction is: The number of freely-moving neutrons increases over time.

In a fission chain reaction, when a nucleus undergoes fission, it releases neutrons. These neutrons can then initiate further fission events in other nuclei, leading to an increase in the number of freely-moving neutrons as the reaction continues.
