None of the options listed (beta-plus decay, gamma decay, beta-minus decay, or alpha decay) are forms of nuclear fission.
Nuclear fission is a process in which a heavy nucleus splits into two or more smaller nuclei, along with the release of energy and neutrons. The types of decay mentioned are forms of radioactive decay, which involve the transformation of an unstable nucleus into a more stable one without splitting the nucleus in the manner characteristic of fission.
If you need further clarification on any of these processes, feel free to ask!
