B Correct answer

Nuclear reactors operate using controlled fission reactions, where uranium atoms split in a chain reaction that is carefully regulated to maintain steady energy output. Fusion requires much higher temperatures and is not used in current commercial reactors. Fission-fusion combinations exist in weapons, not power plants.
