Answer:

D. Hydrogen combines with oxygen to form water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hydrogen combining with oxygen to form water is a typical example of chemical reaction.

During a chemical reaction, atoms of elements are rearranged. Most chemical reactions obey the law of conservation of mass which states that "matter is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction but atoms are simply rearranged".

The other choices given are nuclear reactions. In such reactions, atoms are not rearranged but are simply destroyed and made in the process.
