An appropriate model of nuclear fusion among the options provided would be mashing two marshmallows together. This option symbolizes how two lighter atomic nuclei come together to form a heavier nucleus during fusion. Just as mashing two marshmallows combines them into a single mass, nuclear fusion combines smaller atomic particles to create a larger one, often releasing energy in the process.
