None of the options listed (gamma decay, beta-plus decay, alpha decay, beta-minus decay) are forms of nuclear fission.
Nuclear fission specifically refers to the process where a heavy nucleus splits into two or more lighter nuclei, along with the release of energy and neutrons. The types of decay mentioned (alpha, beta, and gamma) are forms of radioactive decay, which involve the transformation of unstable nuclei but do not qualify as fission. If you're looking for a specific option among the provided choices, the answer is that none of them represent nuclear fission.
