Correct answer: A
(A) Slow neutron can cause fission in $${ }_{92}^{235} \mathrm{U}$$ than fast neutrons because fast neutrons are too quick so they scatter of atoms instead of being captured by them
(B) $\alpha$-rays are Helium nuclei, is a true statement
(C) $\beta$-rays are generated when neutron is converted into proton by releasing electron or proton is converted into neutron by releasing positron.
(D) $\gamma$-rays have higher energies as compared to X-rays. So they have smaller wavelength as compared to X-rays.
