12.    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) merging the nuclei of atoms and not splitting them apart, as in nuclear reactors
(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 unclear reactors
(E) and merges the nuclei of atoms, unlike atomic reactors that split them apart

这里如用merging表伴随的关系，有何不可？The answer is E, 却把原句的意思搞反了。大家有何见解？

这里我也有点不清楚，merging本身表示伴随的话，那么它的逻辑主语是什么？是Nuclear fusion还是force？？？merging the nuclei of atoms and not splitting them apart,修饰主句还是从句？？
   但是，A，B，C都有其他错误
   A：as in nuclear reactors错，比较不对等
   B：like nuclear reactors错，Nuclear fusion 明显和nuclear reactors不同
   C：as nuclear reactors do错，前面是Nuclear fusion is ，比较不对等

'power the sun ...' and 'merge the neulei' r 2 different things, 不能表示伴随， 只能并列
