A fusion reaction consists of combining four protons into an `alpha`-particle the mass of `alpha`- particle is 4.00260u and that of proton is 1.007825u

A

the equation `4p_(1)^(1) rarrHe_(2)^(4)` does not satisfy conservation of charge

B

the correct reaction equation may be `4p_(1)^(1)rarrHe_(2)^(4)+2beta^(+)+2v` where `beta^(+)` is positron and `v` is the neutrino (zero rest mass and uncharged)

C

loss of mass in the reaction is `0.028697u`

D

the energy equivalent of the mass defect is 26.7 MeV
