It is because you have clicked on unallocated space only giving you
the new option. Clicking on one of your existing partitions will
highlight the buttons delete, resize/move, copy.
Finally here is an article on merging partitions:

There are probably other articles on this subject, read as many as is
possible so you know what you are going to do before starting. Best of
luck.
