Question 3 • RMA FL-2100310-United States History Semester 2

Which of the following was a consequence of testing the H-bomb?

Answer
A
radiation sickness
B
fission reaction
C
fusion reaction
D
missile gap

Explanation

Testing a hydrogen bomb can release radioactive fallout, which exposes people to harmful radiation and may cause radiation sickness. Fission and fusion are processes involved in nuclear weapons, not consequences of testing them. A “missile gap” refers to a perceived difference in missile strength, not a health effect of a bomb test.
