Solution

The correct option is B nuclear fusion
The Inner Core of the Sun is the main engine of this star. Here, gravity and heat provide the necessary energy to drive the nuclear fusion processes that power the sun. In the core, the fusion processes called the Proton-Proton Cycle and the Carbon-Nitrogen-Oxygen Cycle take place. Almost all the heat from the sun is created in the inner core.
