Answer 2

The answer is short range nature or saturation of nuclear forces.

The characteristic property of nuclear forces that explains the constancy of binding energy per nucleon is the short range nature or saturation of nuclear forces.

It must be noted that in heavy nuclei, the nuclear size is always greater than the range of nuclear force.
