fusion
|
|
|
fission
|
|
|
Either A or B

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -So, the process of splitting a heavy nucleus into small nuclei is known as nuclear fission.
Detailed explanation-2: -Nuclear fission is a reaction in which the nucleus of an atom splits into two or more smaller nuclei. The fission process often produces gamma photons, and releases a very large amount of energy even by the energetic standards of radioactive decay.
Detailed explanation-3: -What is the Difference between Fusion and Fission? Fusion is where two light atomic nuclei combine and release energy, while fission is the process of splitting two heavy, unstable atomic nuclei into two lighter nuclei, also releasing energy – although less than with fusion.
