- D1 and 3 only
Explanation
Binary fission is the creation of new individuals by cell division in unicellular organisms (statement 1), and nuclear fission is the splitting of heavier nuclei into smaller nuclei (statement 2). The creation of a heavier nucleus by combining lighter nuclei is nuclear fusion, not fission (statement 3 is wrong). Statements 1 and 2 are correct.
