Answer:

hydrogen

Step-by-step explanation:

The endpoint is helium, known to be the second most abundant element in the sun. It is often referred to as "hydrogen burning" to helium, and hydrogen is often called "fuel", but one must understand that the reaction is not burning in the sense of a chemical reaction between a fuel, such as coal or wood, and oxygen.
