The range of the nuclear force is, 1 0 − 18 m, 1 0 − 16 m, 1 0 − 15 m, 1 0 − 13 m

For a nuclear force to act, Distance between two nucleons ≤ 1 fermi ( 1 0 − 15 m ) so, maximum range of nuclear force is 1 0 − 15 m .

The correct answer is: $10^{-15} \mathrm{~m}$

For a nuclear force to act, Distance between two nucleons $\leq 1$ fermi $\left(10^{-15} \mathrm{~m}\right)$ so, maximum range of nuclear force is $10^{-15} \mathrm{~m}$.
