The right answer is a. nuclear meltdown.

The phenomenon of nuclear fusion occurs quite naturally in the heart of the stars. Thus our Sun transforms at every moment and following stages, colossal quantities of hydrogen into helium. All this, by releasing, as the famous formula of Einstein orders, an important quantity of energy. The energy of the stars thus comes from cycles of nuclear fusion reactions. It is this that makes the Sun shine.
