Which of the following statements is true?

a: fission and fusion have identical reactions.

b: fission breaks apart nuclei; fusion puts them together.

c: fusion breaks apart nuclei; fission puts them together.

B

Explanation:

Instead of decaying or breaking nuclei apart into lighter elements as is done in fission, fusion is a process of joining lighter nuclei and producing heavier elements. Fission breaks nuclei apart; fusion puts nuclei together. Both fission and fusion are nuclear reactions, not chemical ones. Chemical reactions may release energy as heat, but this is not atomic energy.
