Basically, the P-P chain turns 4 protons into: 1 neutrino, 1 gamma ray, 1 positron, 1 helium nucleus.
A gamma ray = energy.
The chain converts hydrogen into helium and makes energy.
This is all occurring through fusion reactions where 2 protons basically smash into each other. But, it could also be e.g. a proton smashing with a deuterium nucleus. Or, other nuclei smashing together to make something else.
Hope this helps!
Small population size is your answer mate.
The answer would be letter A. globular cluster. This group of very old stars that are clustered together in a spherical in shape and can contain from 10,000 to several million is called a globular cluster. In our galaxy, there are 150 globular clusters.
