Which of the following can undergo nuclear fusion reaction ?

Why a huge amount of energy is released in nuclear fission of nuclear fusion solution.

Statement: Nuclear fusion involves more energy change than nuclear fission. Explanation: 0.23% of mass undergoes decay in nulclear fusion whereas only 0.1% in nuclear fission.

The energy reveived from the sun by the earth and surrounding atmosphere is 2 cal cm^(-2) "min"^(-1) on a surface normal to the rays of sun. Q. At what rate, in mega gram per minute, must hydrogen be consumed in fusion reaction to provide the sun with the energy it radiates? (Take mass defect per reaction to be 0.028706 a.m.u)

Consider the following statements : 1. The chain reaction process is used in nuclear bombs to release a vast amount of energy, but in nuclear reactors, there is no chain reaction. 2. In a nuclear reactor, the reaction is controlled, while in nuclear bombs, the reaction is uncontrolled. 3. In a nuclear reactor, all operating reactors are 'critical', while there is no question of 'criticality' in case of a nuclear bomb. 4. Nuclear reactors do not use moderators, while nuclear bombs use them. Which of the above statements about operational principles of a nuclear reactor and a nuclear bomb is/are correct?

Inside the core of nuclear fusion reactor, eventually the gas changes to plasma. It is due to
