The binding energy per nucleon for a deuteron $(_{1}^{2}H)$ and an $\alpha -$ particle $(_{2}^{4}He)$ are $x_1$ and $x_2$ respectively. The energy $(Q)$ released in the reaction $_{1}^{2}H + {}_{1}^{2}H \to {}_{2}^{4}He + Q$ is

  • A
    $2(x_2 - x_1)$
  • B
    $2(x_1 + x_2)$
  • C
    $4(x_1 + x_2)$
  • D
    $4(x_2 - x_1)$
