Answer:

Option A, nuclear fusion

Step-by-step explanation:

Nuclear fusion is the base reaction that is being carried out to produce nuclear energy along with nuclear fission reaction. Thus, the term "nuclear fusion" do not depict any form of application of nuclear energy.

However, the radioimmunotherapy, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) uses nuclear energy as a better and advanced diagnostic and therapy tool . Therefore, these three can be considered as application of nuclear energy.

Hence, option A is the correct answer.
