Solution

The correct option is A Deuterium
Raw materials for nuclear fusion reactions are deuterium and lithium. Deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen. Deuterium fusion, also called deuterium burning, is a nuclear fusion reaction that occurs in stars and some substellar objects, in which a deuterium nucleus and a proton combine to form a helium-3 nucleus.
