Answer: Your answer would be C. nuclear fission

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the answer because, nuclear fission happens when the nucleus of an atom is split into two pieces. This releases alot of heat. In other words a nuclear reactor, a chain reaction occurs. Meaning when one atom is split it causes other atoms to split as well.
