None of the options listed (A. Alpha decay, B. Beta-plus decay, C. Gamma decay, D. Beta-minus decay) represent a form 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, neutrons, and gamma radiation. This process is different from the decay processes listed in your question, which involve the transformation of one type of nucleus into another without necessarily splitting the nucleus itself.
