Chemists reported observing a reaction at room temperature and standard pressure that, based on the amount of helium detected an

d heat generated, was consistent with a nuclear fusion reaction. However, an area of concern was the lack of neutrons released given the amount of heat produced. They addressed this concern by proposing the form of helium produced did not release the same number of neutrons as other forms of helium. Which statement describes why the majority of chemists would not find this claim credible?
Currently, fusion reactions can only occur at very high temperatures and pressures

The chemists claim is based on conjecture rather than empirical evidence

The report does not explain the electrostatic charges between protons.

Not enough scientists were present to witness the reaction​

The majority of chemist would not find the claim that this form of helium did not release the same number of neutrons as other helium credible because :

The chemists claim is based on conjecture rather than empirical evidence ( B )

The claim made by the chemists is based on conjecture rather than empirical evidence because nuclear fusion is the reaction between  two light nuclei to form  heavy atomic nucleus ( one or more ) . during the reaction between the nuclei the release or absorption of heat reflects the differences in the masses of the reactants and product. It is not dependent on the amount of neutrons released.  

Hence we can conclude that the claim is not credible because the Chemist claim is based on conjecture rather than empirical evidence.
