Question

Which of the following is true of both nuclear fusion and nuclear fission?
a.
They both require a high energy input.
b.
They both occur without byproducts.
c.
They both have a high energy output.
d.
They both involve large atoms breaking into smaller atoms.

GPT-5 mini · Answer

c. They both have a high energy output.

Explanation: Both fission (splitting heavy nuclei) and fusion (combining light nuclei) release large amounts of energy due to differences in nuclear binding energy (mass defect). The other options are false: fusion needs a large input to start but fission does not necessarily; both produce byproducts (including neutrons and radioactive isotopes); and only fission involves large atoms breaking into smaller ones.
