Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Uranium ore and natural uranium both contain approximately 0.7% U-235, with ore being the raw precursor to natural uranium. Reactor-grade uranium is enriched to 3-5% U-235 for power generation. Weapon-grade uranium requires enrichment exceeding 90% U-235. Therefore, the increasing order of U-235 ratio is Uranium Ore (B), Natural Uranium (A), Reactor grade uranium (D), and Weapon grade uranium (C).
