Solution

The correct option is D

Hydrogen bomb - Fusion reaction; Atomic 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 atomic bomb is based on the principle of nuclear fission reaction in which a bigger nucleus breaks into smaller nuclei.
