the correct answer to your question would be helium transfers nuclei into helium, hope this is one of choices. because of there being two electrons, neutrinos and photons are involved too, to make it possible.

Answer: helium

Step-by-step explanation:

Nuclear fusion is a process which involves the conversion of two small nuclei to form a heavy nuclei along with release of energy.

The reactions which takes place in sun are:


_1^1\textrm{H}+_1^1\textrm{H}\rightarrow 1^2\textrm{H}+_(+1)^0\textrm{e}+\text{energy}\\\\_1^2\textrm{H}+_1^1\textrm{H}\rightarrow 2^3\textrm{He}+\text{energy}\\\\_2^3\textrm{He}+_1^1\textrm{H}\rightarrow _2^4\textrm{He}+_(+1)^0\textrm{e}+\text{energy}

Overall reaction for the above series of reactions is given by:


4_1^1\textrm{H}\rightarrow _2^4\textrm{He}+2_(+1)^0\textrm{e}+\text{energy}

Thus the fusion of lighter hydrogen nuclei result in formation of heavier nuclei of helium.
