An example of an uncontrolled reaction is found A. during radioactive decay.

Radioactive decay is a natural process that occurs without external control or regulation, where unstable atomic nuclei lose energy by emitting radiation. In contrast, nuclear power plants and atomic bombs are designed to harness or release nuclear energy through controlled and uncontrolled reactions, respectively, while the reaction on the surface of the sun involves fusion processes that can be regulated under extreme conditions.
