Final answer:

In enriched uranium, a free neutron from U-235 decay would most likely cause another atom to split.


Explanation:

In a sample of enriched uranium, a free neutron from a decaying U-235 atom would be most likely to cause another atom to split. Enriched uranium has a higher concentration of the fissionable isotope U-235, increasing the probability of neutron-induced fission reactions.
