All of the above
A inertial confinement (in′ər·shəl kən′fīn·mənt)
(nucleonics) The rapid implosion of a high-density pellet, under bombardment by laser or charged-particle beams, to produce a core that is heated to extremely high temperatures before it can fly apart; proposed as a method for generating power from controlled thermonuclear reactions
B critical mass critical mass
n.
The smallest mass of a fissionable material that will sustain a nuclear chain reaction at a constant level.
C and D also deal with fission

B & C critical mass is the amount that produces enough neutrons by fission to keep the reaction going because enough neutrons hit other atoms; a nuclear reactor is one in which this takes place.
A & D are fusion

(b and c)

critical mass :- it is the minimum mass required for the nuclear fission chain reaction.

nuclear reactors:- it is the energy converter device which converts heat energy produced by nuclear fission reaction into electrical energy.
