the answer is c because an oxygen atom with 8 protons witch as well also number of protons increase from 7 to 8.

Answer: The correct answer is Option C.

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion reaction is defined as the reaction in which two lighter nuclei join (fuses) together to form a heavier nuclei.

Number of protons determine the atomic number of an element.

The chemical reaction representing the nuclear fusion of nitrogen and hydrogen is given by the equation:

[tex]_7\textrm{N}+_1\textrm{H}\rightarrow _8\textrm{O}[/tex]

The fusion of these two elements results in the formation of oxygen atom which has 8 protons.

Thus, the correct answer is Option C.
