Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A nuclear reaction is a reaction which brings change in the nucleus of an atom.

For example, ^{2}_{1}H + ^{3}_{1}H \rightarrow ^{4}_{2}He + ^{1}_{0}n

A chemical reaction is a reaction which results in the formation of new compounds which have different properties than their reactants.

Hence, in a nuclear reaction changes in an atom occurs whereas in a chemical reaction changes in a compound or molecule occurs.

Thus, we can conclude that a major difference between a chemical reaction and a nuclear reaction is that only nuclear reactions can change the identity of the atom.
