Which of the following is used to control rods in nuclear fission?

  • A. Graphite
  • B. Heavy Water
  • C. Cadmium
  • D. All of these

Cadmium absorbs neutrons and is therefore used in control rods to regulate the chain reaction. Graphite and heavy water act mainly as moderators, slowing neutrons rather than controlling the rods.
