    It is a popular misconception that nuclear fusion power

    is free of radioactivity; in fact, the deuterium-tritium reaction that nuclear scientists are currently exploring produces both alpha particles and neutrons. Which of the following can be inferred from the above?
    A Production of alpha particles and neutrons constitutes radioactivity. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Nuclear fusion does not involve the production of alpha particles, and neutrons. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Nuclear fusion does not result in radioactivity. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D The deuterium-tritium reaction is an example of nuclear fission. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The deuterium-tritium reaction is given as an example to prove that the popular misconception that nuclear fusion does not involve radioactivity is wrong. Hence (1) is the correct alternative.┬а Thus, the correct answer is option 1.
