Solution
The correct option is A Fusion reaction
Fusion reaction is the main cause of the energy
radiation from the sun.
Fusion powers stars and produces virtually all
elements in a process called nucleosynthesis. The Sun is a main-sequence star,
and, as such, generates its energy by nuclear fusion of hydrogen nuclei into
helium.
In nuclear physics, nuclear fusion is a reaction in
which two or more atomic nuclei are combined to form one or more different
atomic nuclei and subatomic particles (neutrons or protons). The difference in
mass between the reactants and products is manifested as either the release or
absorption of energy.
