During a nuclear fusion reaction:
  • A
    A heavy nucleus breaks into two fragments by itself.
  • B
    A light nucleus bombarded by thermal neutrons breaks up.
  • C
    A heavy nucleus bombarded by thermal neutrons breaks up.
  • D
    Two light nuclei combine to give a heavier nucleus and possibly other products.

Answer

  1. Two light nuclei combine to give a heavier nucleus and possibly other products.

Explanation:

A nuclear reaction in which atomic nuclei of low atomic number fuse to form a heavier nucleus with the release of energy is called nuclear fusion.
