Nuclear fusion is the force that powers the Sun, the stars, and hydrogen bombs, merging the nuclei of atoms and not splitting them apart, as in nuclear reactors

a,
b,merging the nuclei of atoms instead of splitting them apart, like nuclear reactors
c,merging the nuclei of atoms rather than splitting them apart, as nuclear reactors do
d, and merges the nuclei of atoms but does not split them apart, as is done in nuclear reactors
e,and merges the nuclei of atoms, unlike atomic reactors that split them apart

action vs action :

C - Nuclear fusion is the force that powers the Sun....as nuclear reactors do ( action).

In B - the comparison is between an action and an noun.


Hope this helps !!

Yes it is legitimate :) The whole sentence compares two nouns John and his father.
