Solution

The correct option is B Nuclear fusion
Nuclear fusion reaction takes place in the Sun. The Sun's tremendous pressure and high temperature fuse hydrogen nuclei to form helium through various steps. Every second, millions of tons of hydrogen is converted into helium in the Sun's centre which releases an enormous amount of energy enough to lit and maintain a star for ages.
