Question

The average binding energy per nucleon is maximum for the nucleus$:$

✓

Answer

Binding energy per nucleon increases with atomic number.
The greater the binding energy per nucleon the more stable is the nucleus.
For $_{26}Fe^{56 }$ number of nucleons is $56.$
This is most stable nucleus, since maximum energy is needed to pull a nucleon away from it.
