Answer:

The correct answer is option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Fusion is quite difficult than the fission reaction. In fission an atom is bombarded with a neutron or any charged particle but in a fusion two positively charged particles are brought closer to each other and are made to fuse. The two positively charged particle repels with strong force and thus extreme energy is required to bring them close. Thus fusion is yet a problem in energy production
