1.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

这道题到底是选D还是E呢，不觉得D最后的do有指代不明的嫌疑，觉得E的并列蛮奇怪的。还请给位高手予以解答。多谢啦！

as作连词：像……一样，后面接句子；作介词：作为，后面接名词。因此A错 D错

E：句子中的名词不可随意更换nuclear ? atomic
优先使用主动语态，当主语不明确，或者为了照顾倒装结构的时候才使用被动语态。
句尾逗号后面的动名词短语作伴随方式状语。
