Answer: The answer to your question is D) Strong nuclear force

Explanation:

In nature, there are four fundamental interactions: electromagnetism, gravitation, weak nuclear force and strong nuclear force.

The Strong nuclear force is responsible for binding protons and neutrons to form a new nucleus.

Weak nuclear force is responsible for radioactive decay which means splitting nucleus.
