Hydrogen bomb is based on

  1. A
    nuclear fission
  2. B
    nuclear fusion
  3. C
    natural radioactivity
  4. D
    artificial radioactivity reactions

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

A hydrogen bomb (thermonuclear weapon) relies primarily on the process of uncontrolled nuclear fusion. Under extreme heat and pressure generated by an initial primary fission trigger, light atomic nuclei (isotopes of hydrogen like deuterium and tritium) fuse together to form heavier helium nuclei, releasing massive amounts of energy.
