Answer:

C.fusion reaction

Step-by-step explanation:

Fusion reaction is the type of reaction that take place in the sun and stars. Fusion is the combining of two or more small nuclei to form a bigger more stable nucleus. This type of reaction releases a large amount of energy, an example is the reaction between deuterium and tritium to give helium, neutron and large amount of heat. The reaction is given below:


^2_1H+^3_1H
^4_2He+^1_0n+energy
