SSC CGL 2016 (Tier 1) Previous Year Question Paper (11-Sep-2016) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

uncontrolled chain reaction

An atomic explosion is triggered by an uncontrolled chain reaction. In nuclear physics, a chain reaction occurs when the fission of one atomic nucleus releases neutrons that trigger further fissions, resulting in a self-sustaining series of reactions. In the context of an atomic explosion, this process is not regulated or contained, leading to a rapid release of energy, which is the essence of the explosion.
