The nuclear force is :
Correct answer: C. Spin dependent but charge independent
- A. Spin independent
- B. Both charge and spin independent
- C. Spin dependent but charge independent
- D. Charge dependent
Explanation
The nuclear force is nearly independent of whether the nucleons are neutrons or protons. This property is called charge independence.It depends on whether the spins of the nucleons are parallel or antiparallel, and has a noncentral or tensor component

About Nuclear Physics
Atomic nuclei contain protons and neutrons, with nuclear size, mass defect and binding energy describing their stability. The work covers alpha, beta and gamma decay, decay equations, half-life and decay rate, along with radiation safety and medical applications such as imaging, radiotherapy and tracers.
