Answer 2

The correct answer is -

takes place in the Sun

plays a role in the production of essentially all elements heavier than helium

releases large amounts of energy

Step-by-step explanation:

Fusion reaction takes place when two or more small atomic nuclei come in close proximation for a longer time so the nuclear force pulling them together and form into heavier molecules than helium and releases a huge amount of energy by this process.

A great example of this fusion reaction is the sun where nuclear fusion takes place inside the core of the sun and result in a huge amount of release as it is an exothermic reaction.
