Gamma emission is

it is a fission reaction

Answer 1

The correct statement is:

Gamma emission is a type of radioactive decay, but it is not a fission reaction.

Gamma emission occurs when an unstable atomic nucleus releases energy in the form of gamma rays, which is a common form of radioactive decay. However, it does not involve the splitting of nuclei or the processes associated with nuclear fission.
