B) Fission reactions do not naturally occur while fusion reactions occur in the stars. C) Both fission and fusion reactions naturally occur in the pressure of the earth's core. D) Fusion reactions do not naturally occur while fission reactions occur in the volcanoes.

Answer 1

Okay then I would go with choice B since fusion takes place in the sun which is a giant star.

Answer 2

Answer: Option 'B' is correct.
