B. Fusion requires very high pressure and temperature.

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion is the combination of atomic nuclei into larger ones with the release of a large amount of energy.

Nuclear fission is the decay process in which a heavy nuclide is bombarded with with neutrons.

  • Both processes release a huge amount of energy.
  • But fusion produces far more energy.
  • The reason why nuclear fusion is not in use is because of the high pressure and temperature needed start it.
  • The activation energy is high and the energy barrier is very great.
  • Only the core of the sun naturally favors fusion

What is a loose icy body with a long narrow orbit?
Bumek [7]
A comet is the loose, icy body with a long, narrow orbit. 
Comets are very small solar system body made mainly of ices mixed with smaller amounts of dust and rock. Most comets are not larger than a few kilometers across. The main body of the comet is called the nucleus, and it can contain water, methane, nitrogen and other ices. Their speeds vary depending on their orbits and where they are in it. The closer they are to the sun, the faster they are going.

What's the mass show the work?
Alja [10]
You do this one just like the other one that I just solved for you.

For this one ...

The density of the object is 2.5 gm/cm³.
We know that every cm³ of it we have contains 2.5 gm of mass.
We have to find out how many cm³ we have.

The question tells us:  We have  2.0 cm³.

Each cm³ of space that the object occupies contains 2.5 gm of mass.

So the 2.0 cm³ that we have contains (2 x 2.5 gm) = 5 gms.
That's the mass of our object.
