Solution

The correct option is B Nuclear fission
The nuclear fission produces a tremendous amount of energy which is used to produce steam that can rotate turbines thereby generating electricity. Radioactive decay is a spontaneous process with lesser energy output. Nuclear fusion requires high temperature and pressure, and has only been observed and possible in stars.
