PASSAGE
Nuclear fission is the phenomenon of splitting of an unstable nucleus of a heavy atom into two medium-weight nuclei due to bombardment with slow-moving neutrons, with the release of enormous amount of energy.

Nuclear fusion is the phenomenon of combining or fusing two or more lighter nuclei to form a stable heavier nucleus with the liberation of enormous amount of energy.

Now consider four materials -W, X, Y and Z with mass numbers 2, 35, 135 and 239 respectively.
With regard to the above, answer the following question:
