Solution

The correct option is A True
  1. Atomic energy, often known as nuclear energy, is the energy generated when two or more atomic nuclei join.
  2. The Sun is a main-sequence star, which means it gets its energy from hydrogen nuclei fusion into helium.
  3. Every second, the Sun fuses 620 million tonnes of hydrogen and produces 616 million tonnes of helium at its core.

So the statement is true.
