Answer 1

A reaction that joins the nuclei of two atoms into one

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of the words "nuclear fusion".

Nuclear = "relating to a nucleus"

Fusion = "joining"

So, nuclear fusion is the joining of two nuclei into one.

A and B are wrong, because chemical reactions involve electrons.

D is wrong, because the splitting of a nucleus is fission.
