    The correct option is D we should note about the deuteron itself is that the proton and neutron spend most of their time separated by a distance which is somewhat larger than our estimate for the range of the nuclear force. This indicates that the deuteron is rather loosely bound and such a conclusion is supported by the fact that the binding energy is very much less than the normal nuclear average B/A ~ 8 MeV per nucleon.
