The correct answer is: A is wrong and B is correct
The force acting between proton-neutron $(p-n)$ proton-proton $(p-p)$ and neutron-neutron $(n-n)$ are always equal and charge independent, so statement $A$ is wrong.
If reproduction factor of neutron $(A)>1$, then fission reaction will be in accelerating state, so statement $B$ is correct.
