Answer:

B

Step-by-step 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.
