The correct statement about the given reaction is:**Its product is heavier than each of its reactants.**In this nuclear reaction, nitrogen-14 (
) reacts with hydrogen-1 (
) to produce oxygen-15 (
). The product, oxygen-15, has a mass number (15) that is greater than the mass numbers of the reactants (14 for nitrogen-14 and 1 for hydrogen-1). Therefore, the product is indeed heavier than each of its reactants.
