Which statement is true about nuclear fusion?

Nuclear fusion joins light atomic nuclei to form heavier nuclei, releasing energy. In stars, fusion builds elements from hydrogen and helium, and stellar processes produce nearly all elements heavier than helium. Fusion requires extremely high temperatures to overcome the repulsion between positively charged nuclei, so it does not have very low activation energy. The true statement is that it produces nearly all elements heavier than helium.
