Solution

The correct option is C Fusion
In the fusion reaction, the lighter nuclei are combined to give heavier nuclei, they will fuse with a yield of energy because the mass of the combination will be less than the sum of the masses of the individual nuclei.
No radiation like alpha, beta or gamma is emitted in fusion reaction, so it is not a radioactive decay.
