Created by joining two hydrogen atoms to create helium
A
Nuclear Fusion
B
Nuclear Fission
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A hydrogen bomb works by converting hydrogen atoms into helium plus energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fusion reactions occur when two nuclei come together to form one atom. The reaction that happens in the sun fuses two Hydrogen atoms together to produce Helium. It looks like this in a very simplified way: H + H → He + ENERGY. This energy can be calculated by the famous Einstein equation, E = mc2.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fusion is the process that powers the sun and the stars. It is the reaction in which two atoms of hydrogen combine together, or fuse, to form an atom of helium.

Detailed explanation-4: -In the core of the Sun hydrogen is being converted into helium. This is called nuclear fusion. It takes four hydrogen atoms to fuse into each helium atom.

Detailed explanation-5: -The most efficient fusion reaction in the laboratory setting is the reaction between two hydrogen isotopes deuterium (D) and tritium (T). The fusion of these light hydrogen atoms produces a heavier element, helium, and one neutron.
