  1. Anuclear fusion and fission
  2. Bfission and thermonuclear fusion
  3. Cgeothermal fusion and fission
  4. Dgeothermal fusion and fission

Explanation

The hydrogen (thermonuclear) bomb derives its energy from nuclear fusion — isotopes of hydrogen (deuterium/tritium) fusing into helium, triggered by a fission primary. The uranium (atomic) bomb is based on nuclear fission — splitting heavy U-235 nuclei. Hence fusion and fission respectively.
