In a series of reactions, two deuterons combine to form a helium nucleus. What is the name of this process?
A
Chain reaction
B
Nuclear reaction
C
Nuclear fission
D
Nuclear fusion
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It is one of the examples of the exothermic reaction. The nuclear fusion creates a single heavy nucleus from two different lighter nuclei. Generally, this process is termed as the nuclear reaction. As we all know, the two lighter hydrogen atoms are commonly fused to create a bigger atom of helium.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fusion occurs when two atoms slam together to form a heavier atom, like when two hydrogen atoms fuse to form one helium atom.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hydrogen (H) “burning” initiates the fusion energy source of stars and leads to the formation of helium (He).
