Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
When fusion is achieved by raising the temperature of the system so that particles have enough kinetic energy to overcome the coulomb repulsive behaviour, it is called thermonuclear fusion. It is clean source of energy but energy released in one fusion is much less than a single uranium fission.
