The correct answer is A, since it is the only sensible answer.
Answer:
a. is released in the process
Explanation:
In fusion reaction the nucleus is unstable so it releases its binding energy resulting in decreasing its mass so it becomes more stable.
In order for a solute to dissolve in a solvent,
the attractive forces between solute particles and the solvent particles must
be stronger than the attractive forces between solute-solute and
solvent-solvent particles. This is important so that the solute will remain in
solution.
