The correct statement is:

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

Gamma emission involves the release of gamma radiation (high-energy photons) from an unstable nucleus, often following alpha or beta decay, and it does not involve the splitting of an atomic nucleus as seen in fission reactions.
