Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Formation of \( {}^{4}_{2}He \) from \( {}^{2}_{1}H \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Nuclear fusion is the process where light nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, such as hydrogen isotopes merging to create helium. In contrast, Option A is an example of fission (splitting a nucleus), and Option D is a chemical reaction, not a nuclear one. C) Formation of…
