The correct statement is:

**Gamma emission is a type of radioactive decay, but it is not a fission reaction.**

Gamma emission occurs when an unstable nucleus releases energy in the form of gamma radiation, which is a type of electromagnetic radiation. It is often a result of nuclear decay processes but does not involve the splitting (fission) of the nucleus, as seen in fission reactions.
