Answer:

The first point is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Unlike fission, which is similar to radioactive decay, fusion does not occur naturally and this is due to the strong repulsive electrostatic forces which pull the positively charged nuclei apart from coming together and collide for fusion to occur.
