  • A. Uranium - 233 : Fertile material
  • B. Binding energy : Mass defect
  • C. Scattering: Absorption cross-section
  • D. Number of nucleons : Mass number

Explanation

Uranium-233 is a fissile material, not a fertile material; thorium-232 is the familiar fertile material that breeds uranium-233. Binding energy is related to mass defect, and the number of nucleons is the mass number.
