As we learnt in

Binding energy per nucleon -

 

- wherein

This graph shows the stability of nuclei many nuclear phenomena can be explained by this graph

 

 

For closest approach, kinetic energy is converted into potential energy

\therefore \; \; \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}=\frac{1}{4\pi \varepsilon _{0}}\frac{q_{1}q_{2}}{r_{0}}=\frac{1}{4\pi \varepsilon _{0}}\frac{(Ze)(2e)}{r_{0}}

or\; \; \; r_{0}=\frac{4Ze^{2}}{4\pi \varepsilon _{0}mv^{2}}=\frac{Ze^{2}}{\pi \varepsilon _{0}v^{2}}\left ( \frac{1}{m} \right )

or\; \; \; r_{0}\; \; is\; proportional\; to\; \left ( \frac{1}{m} \right )

Correct option is 3.
