Solution
The correct option is D Nuclear fusion reaction Nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two or more atomic nuclei come close enough to form one or more different atomic nuclei and subatomic particles (neutrons and/or protons). The difference in mass between the products and reactants is manifested as the release of large amounts of energy. A hydrogen bomb derives its energy from this type of nuclear reaction.
