The correct response is: **The nuclei combine in a fusion reaction.**
In fusion reactions, light atomic nuclei come together to form heavier nuclei, typically releasing a significant amount of energy in the process. In contrast, chemical reactions involve the rearrangement of electrons and bonds between atoms but do not change the nuclei themselves.
