○ nuclear fusion is a cold process.
○ nuclear fusion doesnt produce energy.
○ nuclear fusion splits atomic nuclei.
○ nuclear fusion combines atomic nuclei.

Explanation:

Nuclear fission splits large atomic nuclei into smaller ones, while nuclear fusion combines small atomic nuclei into a larger one. Fusion requires extremely high temperatures, produces significant energy, which differentiates it from fission.

Answer:

Nuclear fusion combines atomic nuclei.
