I can’t see the image files you listed. Could you either paste the four equations as text or upload the images here?
To identify the fission equation yourself: fission is when one heavy nucleus splits into two (or more) lighter nuclei, usually releasing several neutrons. So pick the equation that shows a single heavy nucleus producing two medium-mass nuclei plus neutrons (not one light nucleus fusing with another, and not simple radioactive decay like alpha or beta emission).
Example of a fission reaction:
235/92U + 1/0n → 144/56Ba + 89/36Kr + 3 1/0n
If you paste the four options I’ll tell you which one is fission.
