Solution

The correct option is D Hydrogen bomb - Fusion reaction; Atom bomb - Fission reaction
The hydrogen bomb is based on the principle of the nuclear fusion reaction in which smaller nuclei combine/fuse to form one single nucleus. The atom bomb is based on the principle of nuclear fission reaction in which a bigger nucleus breaks into smaller nuclei.
