Question

which type of reaction is shown? (1 point) fusion is shown because nuclei are being split into smaller and smaller pieces. fusion is shown because mass is being converted into energy as nuclei combine. fusion is shown because nuclei are being split into smaller and smaller pieces. fusion is shown because mass is being converted into energy as nuclei combine.

Explanation:

Fission is a process where a large nucleus splits into smaller nuclei. In the image, we see a large entity breaking into multiple smaller ones, which is characteristic of fission. Fusion is the combination of smaller nuclei into a larger one. The description about mass - energy conversion is more of a consequence rather than the defining characteristic for identifying fission here.

Answer:

Fission is shown because nuclei are being split into smaller and smaller pieces.
