To identify a reaction as fusion, the best answer choices would be:
1. **The largest number is present on the right side of the reaction**
2. **There will be a nucleus with a large number of protons on the right side of the reaction**
These responses indicate that during the fusion reaction, lighter nuclei are combining to form a heavier nucleus, which typically has a larger mass number and may also contain more protons.
